Voice for the Ocean: Let’s raise our voice for ocean protection! |
For 28 years, Surfrider Foundation Europe has served as the trusted voice of the citizens in the fight to protect our oceans and coastlines. We proudly carry this responsibility through every level of society: from our 29 active chapters throughout Europe, to lobbying on the floor of European institutions. For the 2019 European elections, Surfrider is launching a new campaign aimed at raising the collective voice of the community: VOICE FOR THE OCEAN. |
|
What is Voice for the Ocean? |
This campaign provides European citizens with the opportunity to express their opinions on environmental issues. Acting in two parts, the community is first asked to complete a brief online questionnaire addressing major topics of ocean sustainability. Then, armed with the campaign results, Surfrider will present the findings to the 2019 EU political candidates and ask them to consider the environmental prioirities of their constituants when developing future poltical agendas. |
Who can join Voice for the Ocean? |
This campaign is made for all European citizens. The online questionnaire is available in five languages and is divided into four profiles: citizen, teacher, ocean users, or expert in the maritime field. Once you have selected your profile, you will be asked to express your opinion on crucial environmental topics including aquatic pollution, resource exploitation, public education and ecosystem protection. |
What is the purpose of Voice for the Ocean? |
The goal of this campaign is to make government representatives aware of the environmental priorities of the citizens and to take legal measures to act in these interests. Surfrider will represent the voice of the community by lobbying for legislature that better protects our oceans in the 2019 European elections. Together we can drive change by, and our chances of making a significant impact increase with every new voice! |
