Trestles, San Mateo Creek: Most Endangered River
The San Mateo Creek was named as one of America's Most Endangered Rivers of 2007. At the center of the last remaining pristine coastal watershed in southern California, San Mateo Creek supports world-class surfing and provides irreplaceable habitat for a variety of fish and wildlife. But a proposed 16-mile long toll road threatens to slice through San Mateo Creek causing significant damage to the watershed and to surfing at the famous Trestles Beach, whose reef depends upon the San Mateo for sand and cobbles. Unless the California Coastal Commission and other state and federal agencies deny permits for this toll road, southern California runs the risk of losing one of its best remaining natural and recreational assets.

TV report covering illegal beach closure
The Surfrider Foundation South Florida chapter has been engaged in an effort to raise public awareness regarding an illegal beach closure in Bal Harbour. Surfrider SFL's efforts have brought forward evidence of larger, illegal activities that the chapter is sharing with the general public for the purpose of correcting the beach closure and holding the parties responsible for breaking the law. The following is an investigative report which aired on local Miami television as a result of the chapter's work, which aired on the DeFede Report, CBS4 Miami, hosted by investigative journalist and radio personality, Jim DeFede, in December 2006.
The Surfrider Foundation is a non-profit grassroots organization dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of our world’s oceans, waves and beaches. Founded in 1984 by a handful of visionary surfers in Malibu, California, the Surfrider Foundation now maintains over 50,000 members and 80 chapters worldwide.
Surfrider Foundation now has over 50,000 members in the USA; in addition, International Surfrider Foundation chapters and affiliates have been established in many foreign countries including the Surfrider Foundation Europe (with ongoing programs and Chapters in France, Germany, Spain, Portugal and Italy) as well as Japan, Brazil, and Australia.
