We are people that have seen over the years the butterfly effect happen over and over again. One small action can mean big things in our ocean world. First I will say we aren't perfect. For example, I was recently water bottle shamed by a friend of mine (in the absence of a good water filter I will choose bottle over tap, sorry health wins) and I certainly have friends that have really taken sustainability to amazing levels that I may never reach but as amazing as that level of commitment is, the simple truth is even one so small as picking up a plastic baggie in the ocean can mean something huge to a turtle or a monk seal. It's not about being perfect, it's not about judgement, it's about helping those in need. Here's some things that we can all do to help and some heartwarming stories about how some of our surf students are saving our oceans one act at a time.
