Coastal Clean-Up Day
The California Coastal Cleanup Day is the biggest volunteer event focused on the marine environment in the country. This year, Surfrider and REI are teaming-up to clean Monterey State Beach. Last year, more than 60,000 volunteers worked together to collect more than 90,000 pounds of trash. Please come be part of the momentous occasion with your local Monterey Chapter.
When: Saturday, September 20th, @ 9am
Where: Asilomar State Beach
Panel Discussion
Come join us for a discussion with local experts on climate change and what we can do about it at a local level.
When: Saturday, September 13th, 2:00pm-4:00pm
Where: Chautauqua Hall, 16th Street at Central Ave., Pacific Grove
Topic: Climate change already has, and will increasingly, affect us on the Central Coast. How will our environment be affected as a result of a changed climate over the years to come? What can we do to respond to these changes?
