Surfing in the National Marine Sanctuaries

Great website for tips and facts on surfing in our National Marine Sanctuaries. Find more information at http://sanctuaries.noaa.gov/news/features/0311catching.html then post your thoughts. What a great goal to try to surf all of them! Beautiful photos!

  1. I'm not much of a surfer but this was interesting to read, well because surfing itself is interesting, and since we live at the beach we can apply the same idea to here. Surfers definitely spend the most time in the ocean so I feel if they are going to comment on the debris and the things wrong with it, they should help take action by making the public aware or cleaning it up themselves. Either start informing the public now while it could be an easily contained problem or somewhat blowing it off until it's taking a huge blow to the marine sanctuaries. Other than that there wasn't a really stong hitting point to the article that I feel like I could comment on.

    1. yeah! As a communtiy, that lives by the coast, we should clean up the beaches. The beach is the place to be, lets keep it nice. Littering pollutes the water more than people think.

  2. I dont surf, but my brother and dad do, so I chose this article. What interested me the most about this article was how surfing and conservation related to each other. Surfers tend to take care of the ocean. They like to keep the waters clean and the beaches free. Surfers spend so much time in the water and at the beach that they care about the health of it. More people should actually do something about taking care of the ocean though. The pollution will kill the animals from runoff and debris. It should not only be the surfers job to care about the ocean but everybodys. Not taking care of the beaches will hurt the animals and eventually the people.
