Our Mission
When we see what we love in trouble, we act.
And we win.
Surfrider has built a network of coastal defenders who transform their passion for the coast into lasting protection. We are fortunate to live in a place where passion for protection is in our blood. We are a community of dedicated guardians including First Nations, grassroots environmentalists, scientists, ocean lovers, surfers, beach walkers and fishing enthusiasts.
Bringing local knowledge together with national experts in law, policy and science, Surfrider is a leading voice in addressing plastic pollution.
Protect & Enjoy
Our local Surfrider Chapter is part of a greater international organization of volunteers. We come together to respond to threats to our coastal communities and protect what we love through campaign driven initiatives that are supported by educational programs.
