Looking for a nice excuse to get outside this weekend? The International Coastal Cleanup is happening this Saturday and our partners at Washington CoastSavers are organizing cleanups across the coast with Surfrider BBQs to reward your efforts in La Push, Hobuck Beach, and Westport. The weather is looking great so take advantage of the sun while you still can!
CoastSavers, which is a representation of a broad spectrum of interested parties including Surfrider, is renowned for their April Earth Day cleanup drawing thousands of coastal users to remove winter and spring debris from our coastal beaches. Surfrider is an active partner in the organization and for years has provided BBQs at various locations on the coast for those who volunteer.

Building off the success of the April cleanup CoastSavers continues to promote International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) day which has it's origins with another coastal focused group, The Ocean Conservancy. With the goal of expanding cleanups around the globe, CoastSavers is hoping to expand locations, number of volunteers, and debris taken off Washington beaches by organizing a Washington coastal cleanup during ICC.
Surfrider will once again be an active partner in this event happening September 20th 2014 by providing BBQs in La Push, Westport, and at Hobuck beach. It's always a great time and we are hoping for a good turnout and another fun event this year. For any questions or if you are interested in volunteering please contact WA Field Manager Brice Boland.
