August Lecture: Surfrider Foundation
Wednesday, August 14, 2019
The Surfrider Foundation MKE is about more than just surfing. Eric Gietzen and crew will discuss the Surfrider Foundation’s stewardship of the beaches and waterways – the tribal community of people who work together with a common goal of enjoying the water, respecting the environment and what Mother Nature provides for us.
Since 1984 the Surfrider Foundation has been protecting waters across the globe. Surfrider-MKE continues that tradition on our Great Lake. Lake Michigan is a part of the world’s largest freshwater ecosystem – our Great Lakes hold 20% of our planet’s surface freshwater! Surfrider-MKE educates on the beach, at inland presentations, and through community-based campaigns.
