Actions define us
We can’t give up and have our next generation not know how beautiful the sea once used to be. Our coasts are under severe pressure from human impacts. Marine litter dumps, chemical, and bacterial pollution and inappropriate developments have been occurring for way too long and that’s why in 1992 Surfrider Foundation Europe launched this movement to respond to urgent threats.

our goal
Together we – Surfrider Coastal Defenders – act to protect our playgrounds. As a collective, we take back control by forming a tight worldwide community consisting of members, experts, and volunteers in action.
“Mobilize for a better defense of oceans and coastlines.”
Join us and our network of Coastal Defenders
There are different ways you can help out by becoming one of our members, experts and by taking direct action – this powerful combination is the strength of our community. But most importantly, we need insight. If you see coastline that needs to be saved, report it to us for expert analysis and we can start taking action.
