Programs

From removing debris along the beds of our local rivers, to reducing plastic use in local businesses, Surfrider's programs help ensure that our marine and coastal ecosystems are protected.

Park, River, and Beach Cleanups

A key Surfrider Foundation program focused on tackling litter issues – primarily caused by plastic pollution - through education, community science, and partnership collaboration. We are all part of the solution and together we can restore our coastlines, one cleanup at a time.

Ocean Friendly Restaurants

The Surfrider Foundation’s Ocean Friendly Restaurants (OFR) program tackles plastic pollution at its source. One restaurant, one customer at a time, it increases awareness, drives behavior change, and ultimately creates scalable impact to reduce our plastic footprint.
