Ocean Friendly Gardens Program
OFG applies “CPR to the landscape” – Conservation, Permeability and Retention – to prevent runoff and pollution while capturing rain water and creating beautiful gardens and wildlife habitat. We co-host in-depth workshops, maintain a do-it-yourself blog and run a Garden Assistance Program that provides hands-on help.

Teach & Test
Surfrider has partnered with Santa Monica High to launch an educational water quality monitoring and advocacy program that teaches students about the importance of water quality, while providing them with hands-on lab experience and the opportunity to affect positive change in their community.
