About me: The Surfrider Foundation is a non-profit environmental organization dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of the world's oceans, waves and beaches for all people, through conservation, activism, research and education.
TXCBC is the Texas Coastal Bend Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation. The chapter covers Corpus Christi and surrounding areas.
The Surfrider Foundation was created on Jan 1984. TXCBC was born in January 2004. So really, we are 4 years old, not 24!
txcbc's official website is at http://surfrider.org/coastalbend
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone interested in helping preserve open and free access to all Texas beaches as well as the health of all Texas beaches and the Gulf of Mexico.
DID YOU KNOW... Did you know that the ocean houses most of the oxygen we need to breathe, is a food source that can feed the world, and provides the ingredients for today's and tomorrow's medicines?
THE SITUATION TODAY Currently, modern threats of climate change, coastal vulnerability and endangered ecosystems have put our arctic and marine environments, as well as our own existence, in great peril. Because of these dangers, we are now confronted with one of the most serious environmental challenges of our time: global warming and an impending ocean crisis.
Pacem in Maribus XXXII (Peace in the Oceans) - Waves of Change is a global campaign that will break new ground by engaging women and youth
