Expand Marine Sanctuaries to Block Offshore Oil
"California's National Marine Sanctuaries preserve one of the world's most productive marine ecosystems from the devastating impacts of the oil and gas industry. The Gulf of the Farallones and Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary boundaries are now up for review, and your help is needed today to support this historic chance to expand their reaches northward and safeguard offshore habitats for future generations."
Take action now to expand California's National Marine Sanctuaries!

Annual Surf Movie/Earth Day Fundraiser
February 22nd, 2 Shows 6:00pm & 8:30pm 
Mildred Owen Concert Hall

 

Surfing for Life portrays the past and present day lives of some of the surfing world's legends who continued to surf well into their 60's, 70's and 80's.  Featured subjects include Doc Ball, 88; Woody Brown, 84; John Kelly, 77; Leroy Grannis, 76; Rabbit Kekai, 76; Eve Fletcher, 67; and Fred Van Dyke, 66.  They are among an elite group of surfing pioneers who helped to create the modern day version of the sport/art/lifestyle of surfing.   As surfing's elders, they deserve to be recognized and honored but they also deserve the spotlight for another reason.

Thank You Earth Heros!

Thank you IBL School and Ocean Shore School for adopting Sharp Park beach and joining the cleanups last Saturday. Your results, noted below, were impressive!  

 
Thank you Earth Heroes for continuing to support the weekly cleanups in numbers that make a real difference to the ocean!  The Linda Mar cleanup is this coming Saturday, then Mussel Rock on Feb 23rd. It appears that plastic debris doesn't stop coming to our beaches, so your many hands at these cleanups saves many fish.  
 
Two schools are scheduled to help at the Linda Mar beach cleanup, Westborough Middle School and St Francis High School.  They will be looking for Tsunami debris that could appear on our beaches at anytime. 
 
News from Sharp Park Cleanup
Sharp Park cleanup was a huge success!

 

Egg Deposit What is this??? In addition to the 75 pounds of nails and over 300 pounds of debris from the streets, beach, pier, and promenade area; volunteers at the Sharp Park cleanup found an interesting deposit on the beach on Saturday. It looks like eggs, but whose?

 

Special thanks to the 75 volunteers including 57 IBL students and many parents, Ocean Shore families, PBC members and local volunteers.

 

Since the surf and tide was high, IBL students took to the streets cleaning up every street from the school to the golf course, from the beach to Hwy 1. 
 
IBL teacher, Cole Westbrook, said, "It was a fun-filled beautiful day and many students not only helped out, but were made aware of the impact that all this trash can have on their community and the ocean."
Spend Time With a Shark Expert!
 

 

We look forward to seeing you at our weekly beach cleanups and at our SURF MOVIE benefit screening on Friday, FEBRUARY 22nd as well as at EARTH DAY on Saturday, APRIL 20th.  Every day is Earth Day and every sustainable action you take makes a difference. Look for more PBC news in your inbox in the coming weeks. Thank you for all you do!  
  
Sincerely,

Lynn Adams
