Juno Beach 4/24/2010
Enjoying a family friendly morning at the beach on April 24th, 2010, volunteers joined together with the Gater 98.7 & 95.5 and Locals Surf Shop as they helped to pick up trash on Juno Beach. Gifts were also awarded for the most unique, quantity, and largest pieces of trash.
Congrats to the five lucky lottery winners for a pair of Jack Johnson tickets!
After the cleanup, Surfrider Foundation members visited Loggerhead Marine Center where they christened newly decorated eco-dumpsters with the day's trash.
Delray Beach 3/27/2010
Volunteers showed their coastal stewardship while meeting new friends and enjoying a family friendly morning at the beach on March 27th, 2010 as they joined participants from the 2010 Delray Beach Film Festival, Sierra Club, CupcakeChef.com, and Whole Foods Market (Boca Raton). Thanks to more than 4-dozen of you who combed the beach in search of trash (small plastics, styrofoam, cig butts, etc. that sometimes misses the trash can).
Delray Municipal Beach is one of the most accessible and beautiful beaches in South Florida and was selected by Travel Holiday magazine as the top public beach in the southeastern United States for swimming and one of the top 35 beaches in the country. Sand quality, water warmed by the gulf stream current, and safe waves were all cited as factors contributing to their choice of Delray Municipal Beach. The City of Delray Beach contracts with a beach cleaning service and a cabana rental company to insure year round enjoyment of the Municipal Beach for our residents and visitors. It's possible the machines used to rake the beaches are not capable of collecting every single cigarette butt and turtle-bite-sized pieces of plastic much less grab those pesky pieces that end up in the dunes.
Thankfully, our trash pickers and gloves will made sure we left Delray Beach spotless and cleaner than ever!
Thanks to Enoch Surfboards for co-hosting last week's "First Sunday of the Month" & Beach Cleanup with the Chapter. We had dozens of volunteers, including officials from the Town of Palm Beach, show up to help clean up the beach and enjoy beach activities such as horseshoes, bocce, surfing, skimboarding, EATING awesome food, and enjoying reggae music. What a great time, and we look forward to doing it again in April. Stay tuned...
Palm Beach Daily Times: "Surfrider Foundation, town supporters tidy beach in support of 'coastal management'"
Every year our shores are littered with cans, bottles, discarded fireworks and other litter. 
City and County workers do their best to clean up our mess, but many times it takes the additional work of volunteers to help make a dent in the massive amount of trash left behind...
Volunteers joined us Saturday, July 11th, from 9am to 11am at Gulfstream Park to help clean up the local beach.
Parking was plentiful, cold drinks, fruit and snacks were on hand along with Surfrider Foundation material and friends who and all had a great time.
