act positive.
Protect the ocean.
Surfrider Foundation Europe is a collective of positive activists who take concrete action in the field and are committed to protecting the ocean on a daily basis.
our commitments
Every day, we take action to combat plastic pollution, preserve the quality of bathing waters and protect coastlines.
Our commitments reflect our mission: to ensure a healthy and sustainable ocean for future generations.
taking action for a healthy aquatic environment
We are taking action on all fronts to ensure high-quality bathing and recreational waters, which are essential to everyone’s health. Every day, we combat bacterial and chemical pollution and study its impact on aquatic ecosystems. With the support of our scientific analyses and citizen mobilisation, we are working to change regulations so that everyone can enjoy healthy and safe water.
fighting plastic pollution
We are fighting on all fronts to carry out a vital mission: to protect the health of the ocean and human beings from plastic pollution and its harmful effects. We take action every day, from the field to institutions, to stop the scourge of plastic pollution at its source.
Promoting sustainable practices to protect marine and coastal areas
The coastline, attractive for its natural spaces and varied uses, inspires a strong sense of attachment. But growing human pressure on this vulnerable territory is creating conflicts of use, exacerbated by climate change. To address this, we are working alongside users and stakeholders in the maritime sector to ensure sustainable and respectful management of the coastline.
our levers for action
For 30 years, we have been working through education, scientific and legal expertise, and political advocacy.
We support societal change and advocate for more ambitious laws to protect the ocean, while working towards an ecological transition that respects people, nature and the climate.
