4. “Beach Restoration and the Restorative Power of the Ocean” with Jennifer Savage California's Eroding Coastline

On this episode, I talk with Jennifer Savage. Jennifer is the California Policy Manager at the nonprofit organization Surfrider foundation. Jennifer and I talk about surfing California’s beaches, finding joy in the ocean, the work of Surfrider foundation, and how involvement in on the ground (or better yet on the wave) activism helps preserve the beaches and oceans we love.

Jennifer has experience as an environmental journalist, radio personality, event organizer and freelance columnist, Jennifer spreads the word about threats and solutions to our ocean’s health. Surfrider Organization is a grassroots non-profit environmental organization that focuses on water quality, beach access, beach and surf spot preservation, and sustaining marine and coastal ecosystems. Surfrider foundation is dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of the world’s oceans, waves, and beaches for all people through a powerful activist network.
