Who We Are

Our Mission

The Surfrider Foundation is dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of the world's ocean, waves and beaches through a powerful activist network.

 

Our model is to engage environmental experts to create solutions, unite local and national resources to protect the coast, and leverage our local chapter network’s knowledge with a national perspective.

Our Experiences

Cal Surfrider creates opportunities for members to influence environmental action through service, leadership development, civic engagement and direct action organizing.

 

We follow a project-based learning approach in order to address key issues we face as a community. These projects range from beach cleanups and campus plastic reduction projects to building awareness on issues impacting our ocean.

Our Goals

Each semester we strive to achieve the goals we set for ourselves, including:

  • Develop awareness of issues affecting our waterways and coastlines

  • Construct collaborative solutions to critical ocean issues in California

  • Most importantly, make a difference at Cal and in the Berkeley community
