Fighting Proactively in Addition to Reactively
- "The faster pace at which the threats came led the Surfrider Foundation "movement" to reconsider approaches, and several years ago we made a subtle shift in priority and energy to fighting proactively rather than solely reactively. We have found that using the limited resource of our capacity toward protecting special places in perpetuity eliminated the chance that later someone might abuse the special place, causing us to answer the alarm yet another time. From big wins in the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary to saving the famous wave and reef at Rincon, Puerto Rico, the switch is serving us well." - excerpt from Surfrider Foundation's Executive Director Chris Evans from the August 2003 issue of MAKING WAVES at http://surfrider.org/makingwaves/makingwaves19-4/3.asp
