Surfrider Update with Dr. Chad Nelson

On this episode of the Swell Season Surf Podcast, we delve into pressing environmental issues with Dr. Chad Nelson, CEO of the Surfrider Foundation. We explore the impacts of Donald Trump's administration on environmental protections and the urgent challenges faced by organizations like Surfrider. Dr. Nelson, who has been an ocean advocate for over 25 years, discusses the rollback of policies that safeguard our oceans, beaches, and climate, and what individuals can do to counter these changes. The conversation also covers recent legal battles, local and national victories in environmental conservation, and the importance of civic engagement in protecting our coastlines. Tune in to learn how everyday people, surfers, and beachgoers can make a difference.
