For the third year in a row, thousands of members from local Surfrider Foundation chapters are coming together for one purpose – to highlight the fi ndings in our annual State of the Beach Report. From nearly every coastal community in the USA, people dedicated to the protection of our oceans, waves and beaches take to the water to form a “circle of solidarity” in our mission to restore the health of the coast and ocean for our children, grandchildren and countless future generations.
