Our ocean faces growing challenges from pollution, offshore development and climate change. At the same time, expanding industries, such as offshore oil drilling, threaten to crowd our ocean and degrade its health (and those who call it home!). Every day poses new threats to our oceans and beaches. Our ocean and special places must be proactively protected before they are threatened and stem the tide before further damage is done to the ocean’s health.

Join us and Surfrider Foundation for a beach clean-up! Being the weekend after Memorial Day, we can use as many hands as possible.  We are expecting a large crowd, so please bring some reusable gloves and bags just in case. 

Meet at Ocean Beach Veterans' Plaza, just south of the lifeguard station where Abbot St. meets Newport Ave. If there is another event on the grass, we'll be on the beach nearby. Just look for the blue Surfrider tent! 

Classes are for people only - please leave your great pets at home.
