Gulf Alert initiative to raise awareness of ways surfers can help

Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 1 July, 2010 : - - Project Save Our Surf and The Eco-Warrior Project are joining forces to launch GULF ALERT 2010. The aim of the Gulf Alert initiative is to raise awareness of actionable ways the surfing public can help shift the direction from pollution toward renewal. Gulf Alert 2010 will accomplish these goals with direct action on-the ground, in the water and over the skies of the Gulf area.
 
On Saturday, July 3rd ECO-Warrior James Pribram, professional surfer and model Mary Osborne, along with champion stand-up paddler Chuck Patterson and actor Richard Burgi will leave for Gulf Port Miss. The Gulf Alert team will stand-up paddle through areas of the spill in protest of the devastation that is plaguing that region of coastline as well as document a fly-over and participate in local wildlife rescue efforts.


Details of the paddle mission will be made public afterwards due to the conflict of interest within local agencies and restricted areas of coastline. Project Save Our Surf was founded in 2008 by actress and surfer Tanna Frederick to raise funds, awareness and hope around clean ocean issues. For more information, check out projectsaveoursurf.org.
 
The ECO-Warrior project, is led by professional surfer James Pribram shows how people can contribute to environmental issues such as improving water quality, protecting endangered reefs and wildlife while enhancing life on earth for everyone.
