"SURFRIDER recognizes the biodiversity and ecological integrity of the planet's coasts are necessary and irreplaceable. SURFRIDER is committed to preserving natural living and non-living diversity and ecological integrity of the coastal environment. ...SURFRIDER strives to be accurate and nonpartisan in its communications with its members and the general public. In addition, SURFRIDER will express the unique values inherent in wave-riding -- individualism, camaraderie, non materialism, and an appreciation for human kind's historic relations with the Ocean." - excerpt from Surfrider Foundation's Mission and Principles web page.
