Surfrider Monthly Beach Clean-ups

Surfrider Foundation – San Francisco Chapter

The San Francisco Chapter’s Beach Clean-Up Program is one of the most successful of its kind. As a recipient of the Surfrider Foundation’s distinguished “Clean Beach Award,” this program has set the standard for other Surfrider chapters around the country, and increasingly, the world.

Our success is due largely to the incredible volunteer participation by chapter members and other environmentally conscience individuals and organizations who make caring for Ocean Beach a priority. Although we have come to expect regular turnouts at our monthly beach clean-ups, VOLUNTEERS are our greatest asset; and we need as much assistance as we can get. Please work with us to make Ocean Beach the best it can be, and attend any of the scheduled beach clean-ups listed below. Surfrider Beach Clean Ups

20 Ways to a Healthy Coastline

When it comes to staying healthy and fit we usually know what to do.. we cut down on fast food, say “no thank you” to seconds, or we go for a run, hit the gym, etc.. However, when it comes to keeping our coastlines and the ocean clean that’s another story. You might not leave trash on the beach after your surf session, but is that really enough? The Surfrider Foundation thinks you can do more and so do we! So you might be asking yourself what can I do about it? And more importantly how can I help?  Those are all good questions and we found a handy checklist on the Surfrider Foundation’s website that we think you’ll find very easy to follow. You’re probably already doing some of these things, but lets see if you can do all 20. Are you up for the challenge?
