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.
Next Chapter Meeting
The next Chapter Meeting is Wednesday July 18th at the Homeblown surfboard blank factory! Please note that the meeting is NOT at Forum Hall again this month, join us on site at a local eco-friendly surfboard manufacturer "Homeblown US" for this month's chapter meeting.

| Ned McMahon, the general manager of "Homeblown US", will share what they are doing to help the "Surfing World Go Green" and will bring us behind the scenes to share with us their Biofoam technology as well as allow us to tour the manufacturing facility of their boards.
Also, Ellen Shively will share the vision of a local community coalition formed called "The San Diego Coastal Habitat Coalition" who have united to try to save the harbor seal colony in La Jolla by winning approval for a San Diego Coastal and Marine Sanctuary and how the Marine Mammal Protection Act plays a role to save the seals.
Ned and Ellen will be available to answer questions after they speak.
We will also update you on other local issues, programs and events along with ways for you to get more involved with Surfrider right now.
The meeting is from 7 to 8:30pm and doors open at 6pm so you can tour the facility and enjoy refreshments.
Homeblown US is located at 10326 Roselle Street #103 in San Diego 92121, basically just south of the 5 and 805 merge.

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.
