SURF MOVIE NIGHT 17: A BENEFIT FOR CLEAN WATER AND HEALTHY BEACHES

"The Surfrider Foundation Eastern Long Island Chapter announces Surf Movie Night XVII at Guild Hall, 158 Main Street, East Hampton, on Wednesday, July 31 at 7:00 p.m. Proceeds from the evening will benefit the Surfrider Foundation Eastern Long Island Chapter's Clean Water Programs including Ocean Friendly Gardens, Rise Above Plastics, and the Blue Water Task Force water quality-monitoring program which tests and reports on 50 local beach and freshwater sampling sites. The program provides critical data to residents and decision-makers to inform on health and safety issues pertaining to bacteria and other contaminants. "

"Surfrider Foundation Eastern Long Island Chapter (SFELI) is dedicated to the protection of our oceans, waves, and beaches. The chapter has been a strong advocate of public access and environmental preservation along our shoreline from Montauk Point to Moriches Inlet for over 15 years. Staffed almost entirely by a dedicated team of volunteers, the grassroots chapter has worked, and continues to work, with every level of government on resolving important coastal issues including shore preservation, sea level rise, beach access and water quality. In addition, dozens of beach cleanups, educational programs, and dune plantings have been done with local students and community members."
