This year's Two Coasts One Ocean East Coast event will support Surfrider's work to protect clean water and healthy beaches in the Montauk, New York region. Funds raised will amplify on-the-ground efforts by the Surfrider Foundation's volunteer network to monitor, test, educate and ensure public health through the water quality program, Blue Water Task Force. Support from the event will also contribute to the Surfrider Foundation's Ocean Friendly Gardens program, which was established to reduce water pollution and runoff at the source. Surfrider's efforts to protect clean water and healthy beaches in Montauk are featured in professional surfer and filmmaker Mikey DeTemple's short film, Into the Sea.

"Our Two Coasts One Ocean events bring together activists and supporters in local communities on both U.S. coasts," said Dr. Chad Nelsen, CEO of the Surfrider Foundation. "It's an opportunity to support the critical work and scalable change that is taking place on the local, regional and national levels through our volunteer-led activist network. Now, more than ever, local grassroots efforts supported at the national level are critical to ensuring the protection of our ocean, waves and beaches for the future."
