Surfrider Foundation Santa Cruz Chapter

This weeks Blue Water Task Force results are here! Headed to the beach? Check out the water conditions first and plan accordingly!

We have some thunderstorms heading our way the next few days too, so be careful when heading to the coast.

Have fun and stay safe!

👏 Thank you to our cleanup volunteers who joined us at Seabright State Beach on July 5 (aka (aka “The Dirtiest Beach Day of the Year).

Results:
👥 Volunteers: 45
🗑️ Trash collected: 146

Top items found:
357 Small plastic fragments
301 Cigarette butts
225 Plastic food wrappers (candy, chip bags, etc)

Every bag collected is more than just trash removed—it’s pollution kept out of our ocean, wildlife protected, and a reminder that collective action works. Days like this show what’s possible when a community shows up for its coastline.
