Aloha!

The Huntington/Seal Beach chapter is wishing you and your family a happy holiday season!
More Than 5,000 Cleanup Beaches in 2009!
BeachCleanupSaatchi2009Thank you Beach Cleanup   Volunteers!

Huntington/ Seal Beach Surfrider would like to extend a big thank you to all of the volunteers that helped us protect our ocean, waves and beaches in 2009. In fact, so far 5,077 of you helped us cleanup the beaches in Huntington/Seal Beach this year!
 
Trash builds up on our beaches from several sources. In the summer months there are many visiting the beaches that sometimes forget to take out all the trash that they brought. During the winter months rainy weather brings all the trash on our streets into the flood channels that dump into our ocean, this trash washes up on our beaches.
Speak Up! 
Last Change to Speak Up on South Coast Marine Protected Areas 

Attend Commission Hearing on Dec 9 in LA The 'end of the line' for South Coast Marine Protected Areas has arrived!  Dec 9th marks the final meeting in a 'yearlong process', and we need you to attend.  Recently, the Blue Ribbon Task Force unanimously voted to forward a final map to the Fish and Game Commission. The map, called the Integrated Preferred Alternative (IPA), is a hybrid map representing diverse Stakeholder views.
