Send in testimony now Keep West Hawaii closed to aquarium collectors and also to hold aquarium poachers fully accountable for their actions! On Friday, May 22, at 9:00 am, the Board of Land and Natural Resources (BLNR) will decide whether to accept or REJECT the Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to reopen West Hawaii to the aquarium trade. They’ll also decide on administrative penalties for the poachers.

#InternationalSurfingDay is almost here Surfing is an amazing gift and the beach is an incredible place that should be healthy, safe and accessible to all people. However, just as our beaches face a number of growing challenges, so does our community. As surfers and beach goers alike, it is our responsibility to foster a vibrant, inclusive and unifying community that comes together to protect and enjoy this extraordinary resource. This #InternationalSurfingDay, we anticipat...e that in most parts of the world, events and celebrations will look much differently than years past. However we still encourage you to celebrate the stoke of #InternationalSurfingDay whether you are tarp surfing at home or safely catching real waves at the beach and to continue the fight for equal beach access and protection around the world. Please share your adventures by posting on Instagram this Saturday and using the hashtag #InternationalSurfingDay and tagging us @surfrider! https://www.surfrider.org/isd
