Programs

While cleanups are not a solution to the plastic pollution crisis, they are an important piece of the puzzle. Not only do they remove harmful trash from our coasts, which benefits wildlife, water quality, and local economies through enhanced recreation and tourism, but they are an easy way to get engaged and connect with other stewardship-minded people. When possible, we collect data which we then use to push for source reduction policies. You can explore these data by clicking the Learn More button! 

The Surfrider Foundation’s Ocean Friendly Restaurants program tackles plastic pollution at its source. One restaurant, one customer at a time, it increases awareness, drives behavior change, and ultimately creates scalable impact to reduce our plastic footprint.

The Ocean Friendly Gardens program sees landscapes and streets as solutions to water pollution and more. While the KPC doesn't currently have an active OFG Program, if you're interested in the power of rain gardens to improve our waterways and communities, email us at  chair@kenaipeninsula.surfrider.org.
