Calendar

Core volunteers are the heart and soul of our organization. 

These core volunteer trainings will spell out specific volunteer roles and opportunities with our Chapter. The goal is for volunteers to leave the room knowledgable about who Surfrider is and what we do. We want trained volunteers to feel empowered as a Surfrider ambassador, stoked to contribute to the health of our ocean, waves and beaches. These trainings will also provide the Chapter a pool of volunteers to call upon when a need exists.

On October 17, 2018, the Secretary of the Interior announced BOEM will publish a Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for a Construction and Operations Plan (COP) submitted by Deepwater Wind South Fork LLC (Deepwater Wind). If approved, the COP would allow construction and operation of up to 15 turbines that connect via a transmission cable to a grid in East Hampton, New York - the east end of Long Island. The project is approximately 19 miles southeast of Block Island, Rhode Island.

The publication of the NOI initiates the public scoping process and opens a 30-day public comment period, which extends through 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on November 19, 2018. During this time, BOEM will hold public scoping meetings and accept comments. The public scoping process is used to identify issues and potential alternatives for consideration in the EIS.

Surfrider Eastern Long Island will hold a both at The Ross School's Water Views Festival. Join our booth for a Citizen Science Activation showing both our Clean Water & Plastic Pollution initiatives.

Surfrider's Blue Water Task Force water testing program will be ready to demonstrate recent water quality samples and results from local waterbodies.

The booth will include children's activities that educate about how long it takes for everyday items we use to biodegrade, and will be paired with the inclusion of marine debris art made by Carolyn Munaco.
