A Beach Manifesto
- We want to provide a vision of how things could be, of how things would be if Surfrider Foundation's guiding principles were adopted by all levels of government.
- Beach access would be free and uninterrupted.
- You could surf or swim after it rains without the fear of getting sick.
- Sand would flow freely to form surf breaks and beaches, and not be captured by dams, blocked by groins, or walled up behind seawalls and riprap.
- There would be no net loss of surfing areas.
- Advances in technology would be used to make information readily available to the public, government officials, and scientists alike.
- Beach access sites would be inventoried, surf zone water quality monitored, and beach erosion measured.
