The Surfrider Foundation's national bimonthly
publication, MAKING WAVES, is an additional public outreach and educational
outreach tool the Foundation uses. Article topics published in MAKING WAVES
cover subjects such as current coastal issues, Surfrider Chapter news and
coastal scientific reports. In 1996, MAKING WAVES received a "Gold Award of
Excellence" from the Natural Resources Defense Council International Eco Awards
Committee. All issues of MAKING WAVES since 1998 are now online.
Some MAKING WAVES online issues (starting with the Dec. 2006 issue) have extended online versions of selected articles.
