Surfrider Foundation is asking for businesses in the surf and outdoor industry to join together to urge federal leadership to protect our nation’s coasts and ocean. Surfrider has launched a national sign-on letter for businesses to urge the Biden Administration and 117th Congress to take action on 3 priority areas:
- Take Action to Address the Climate Change Crisis
- Stop the Flow of Plastic Pollution into the Ocean
- Protect Clean Water for All People
Ocean and Great Lakes recreation and tourism are major economic drivers in the United States, generating over $129 billion annually for our nation’s GDP. Federal leadership is urgently needed to protect valuable marine and coastal ecosystems, as well as the businesses and communities that depend on these public resources.
It’s critical that federal leaders hear from our industry. Please consider adding your business to the letter. ADD YOUR BUSINESS TO THE LETTER.
Thank you! – Surf Expo Management and Staff
“As part of its commitment to our ocean environment, SIMA has partnered with the Surfrider Foundation to help shape public policy at the state and federal level. The threats facing our nation’s coasts and ocean have never been greater, which is why our voice is so important. The U.S. surf and outdoor industries depend on the protection of our nation’s public lands and waters, including beaches, watersheds and marine ecosystems that are vital public resources for ocean recreation and tourism.
