Join us for the next Surfrider Education Speaker Series featuring coastal resilience expert Professor Michael Beck. As climate change, coastal development, and habitat loss continue to impact our shorelines, communities around the world are finding new ways to adapt and protect both people and nature.

Michael will share examples of how nature-based solutions—from wetlands and dunes to innovative approaches in policy and insurance—are helping build stronger, more resilient coastlines. Drawing from projects in Santa Cruz and beyond, this talk will explore practical ideas for addressing coastal challenges at both local and global scales.

Free food and drink provided.
