Surfrider Benefit w/ UKEsperience

What:

In support of ongoing efforts to clean-up the Gulf Coast, Ocean Conservancy, Humboldt Baykeeper and Humboldt Surfrider host a Friday, June 11 fundraiser at Humboldt Brews, 856 G St. Ukesperience plays at 9 p.m. All proceeds go to assist the Gulf Waterkeepers with clean-up supplies, protective gear and other items needed to maintain the front lines of defense.

Ocean Conservancy has been advocating for ocean protection since 1972 and is helping lead the Gulf Coast response, restoration and recovery effort, as well as working to advocate for reforms to ensure this tragedy is never repeated. Humboldt Baykeeper, part of the Waterkeeper Alliance, was launched in October 2004 to address the immediate need for an advocate for Humboldt Bay, its associated watersheds and the near-shore waters of the Pacific. Humboldt Surfrider is the local chapter of Surfrider Foundation, was established in the early 1990s, and continues to protect North Coast ocean, beaches and waves from environmental and access threats.
