Love My Park Day Cleanup at Oak Orchard Marine Park, May 2, 2026 was full of the usual surprises but a new one for us was NURDLE'S and NURDLE'S and NURDLE'S and ... you get it. The park itself was fairly clean but the beach was one of the most plastic polluted beaches we have found. And we found thousands of Nurdle's. They are the small beads of raw plastic used to make products. Thanks to everyone who came out and helped make your public beach a cleaner place!

📢 BIG NEWS: The U.S. Congress reintroduces the Plastic Pellet Free Waters Act, a bill to prohibit the discharge of plastic pellets (AKA nurdles) and other pre-production plastics, protecting our waterways and holding polluters accountable.

Thank you to Representative Mike Levin and Rep. Hillary Scholten for leading this important legislation. 👏

Join us this Wednesday at 7pm as we identify chapter priority campaigns, programs, and events for the year. We are also recruiting new chapter leaders. If you are looking to make meaningful change in and for your local community so that we have cleaner water, healthier shores and lakes, and improved coastal recreation opportunities, this is a great opportunity to contribute! As a grassroots organization, our chapter exists to represent the interests of our members and supporters, and we encourage folks to come and provide input and take an active role in helping to bring your ideas to life!

At the holiday party, we asked attendees to share their wish list for future chapter projects to advance the Surfrider mission of coastal protection and enjoyment and build community. We will review the ideas submitted, and please bring your own!
