At the strong urging of a couple of long-time Florida conservation friends (and ambivalence from probably everyone else), I have decided to use this blog for more than sharing story about exotic surf travel at an advanced age.
As surfers, we probably spend more time in the water than any other user group. Clean water, healthy coral reefs, beach access, sea level rise, climate change and many other ocean and coastal issues impact the ecological and economic integrity of coastal communities throughout the world.
I will try to share science-based facts and emerging issues of concern on a regular basis. I welcome your comments. Let's see how this goes...
Did You Know? In 2009, the National Ocean Economic Program (www.oceaneconomics.org) estimated that the 30 coastal and Great Lakes states in the U.S. contributed $11.4 trillion to the national GDP (2007 data).
Clean water is the foundation for a healthy U.S. economy.
