Each year, over 25,000 beaches in the United States are closed or posted as unhealthy [source: www.surfrider.org]. To remedy this, Barefoot Wine and Surfrider Foundation encourage local residents to volunteer at cleanup and restoration events across the country to help make these beaches "barefoot-friendly."
Thank you to everyone who hit the beach this summer in support of Surfrider Foundation for the Barefoot Wine Beach Rescue Project. Over 1,200 people came out to make more than 25 beach locations "barefoot-friendly" in celebration of Surfrider’s 25th anniversary. We hope to see you on the beach next year!
Brr! While most people are sporting coats, scarves and hats these days, we're already thinking about when we're heading to the beach this summer! 2010 marks the fourth year of the Barefoot Wine Beach Rescue Project, and we'll be sticking with our tradition of hosting cleanups to make America's beaches and lakes "barefoot-friendly." Check back often for updates on the 2010 schedule and how you can get involved at cleanups in your local community.
