Lines in the Sand - A Blog for Surfrider San Diego
The San Diego County coastline is heavily populated in most places. Lines in the sand from beach 'grooming' tractors are more common than nature's beauty, wind driven lines in the sand. Part of that is good because it shows that many people are enjoying our lovely beaches but part of it is bad because it shows we are not taking care of our lovely beaches. That's where Surfrider comes in with a message of CARE - Conservation, Activism, Research and Education. As an organization, sometimes we need to draw lines in the sand on important issues. As a volunteer based organization, Surfrider is you.....so get involved.
Get Ready, Set...and GO!!!

Before We See You in San Pedro....We Want to See You in the Water.
This Saturday, Oct 6, at 10 am we are having a "Paddle Out" to raise awareness for the Coastal Commission Hearing.
Join Surfrider and Sierra Club at Trestles Beach (Uppers), to help us celebrate the beauty of Trestles while paddling out to raise awareness about the Coastal Commission Hearing and the Save Trestles campaign.
We will have several campaign experts available who can answer questions about the toll road and what's being done to SAVE TRESTLES.
Drop us an email if you have questions: savetrestles@surfrider.org
See YOU in the water!!

Many local businesses are Surfrider Retail Members and give both the the environment as well as other Surfrider members. These are stores and shops you may already shop at, but don't know that you could be receiving a discount each time you purchase from them just by showing your Surfrider membership card. Go Here for a complete list of Retail Members so you will know where to shop from now on.
