Surfrider Action Network Meeting

It was a frustrating legislative session in Sacramento for those of us who supported AB 1998 and other measures. It was equally frustrating locally when we could not get our representatives and local officials to support the measure. Surfrider Foundation San Diego Chapter is ready to help better inform our local leaders about our campaigns, initiatives and our mission. We will be looking for dedicated volunteers in their communities to help get our message out and be our eyes and ears in their local communities. Join us by attending the meeting on October 4 (click the above title).

Encinitas EAC report

The newly formed Encinitas Environmental Advisory Committee met tonight, 4/24/08. They completed the drafting of their mission statement and then moved on to a brainstorming session. There was discussion of several topics of interest to Surfrider, including watershed restoration, expanding marine protected areas, and addressing stormwater runoff and marine debris. The committee members will each select their top priority items to discuss further at the next meeting. The EAC also decided to hear presentations from various city departments at future meetings regarding environmental matters of interest to the committee.
