Did you know that sea levels are expected to rise 1 foot by 2050 and rise 7 feet in many areas by 2100?!
As our sea levels rise, restoring and adaptively managing our beaches, dunes and wetlands is critical. That’s why Surfrider Miami is focused on nature-based solutions as a frontline defense against climate change!
We protect our local dunes by removing invasive species and planting native plants. These dunes act like nature intended, forming a barrier protecting the inland from the ocean.
On April 20, 2024, on Miami Beach, Surfrider will be launching its Climate Action Program as a first line of defense against a changing climate on our coasts! Further details on the event and registration are below.
Throughout the year, this program with more than 1,500 volunteers will plant over 25,000 native plants along coastal dunes and wetlands in Florida, Hawaii, California, Texas, Puerto Rico, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Wisconsin and Maine.
