Works together with the common goal of promoting the protection of the Rhode Island Coast for all ocean enthusiasts. The Rhode Island Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation was formed in September of 1998. A group of twelve individuals came together as a direct result of a booming population growth and increased recreational use of southern Rhode Island’s coastal area. During the past 2 years, RI Chapter of Surfrider Foundation has grown to about 95 National dues paying members, with about 25 active members who participate in all meetings and events.
