San Clemente, CA (August 3, 2010) – Surfrider Foundation is excited to announce the launch of its new online coastal science reference tool, Beachapedia.org. The new community-driven site will effectively catalog combined coastal science information taken from the Surfrider Foundation activist network and environmental experts.

Beachapedia aims to capture relevant and timely information related to the protection of our coastal resources using Wiki technology.  With its constant influx of intelligence, Beachapedia will serve as a relevant and valuable tool for the general public, media and decision-making bodies.

Beachapedia will cover a vast assortment of topics related to the coastal environment, including articles on subjects ranging from coastal access to water quality testing to seawater desalination. Beachapedia also highlights daily coastal factoids and provides easy access to Surfrider Foundation blogs on topics such as offshore oil drilling.

“Decades of coastal activism and environmental research have facilitated Surfrider Foundation’s success at protecting oceans, beaches and waves,” said Mark Rauscher, Surfrider Foundation’s Assistant Environmental Director, “Beachapedia strives to capture that knowledge.”
