Surfrider
Foundation
The Lee-Kahn Foundation supports the Surfrider Foundation,
a non-profit environmental organization dedicated to the
protection and enjoyment of the world's oceans, waves
and beaches through conservation, activism, research and
education. The first chapter was formed in 1989 by a group
of Southern California surfers concerned with water pollution
and the population explosion along coastal zones. The
Surfrider Foundation has grown to encompass a network
of impassioned coastal activists with over 40 chapters
and 25,000 members across the United States and abroad.
The foundation's ability to quickly mobilize grassroots
action through its chapters has enabled it to win a number
of significant legal battles that have strengthened coastal
protection measures and increased awareness of coastal
environmental issues. The Surfrider Foundation is a recognized
leader in coastal conservation, education and activism.
