Pressures on the marine environment are numerous: abandoned coastal landfills, unregulated development, and offshore hydrocarbon extraction, to name a few. To address these pressures Surfrider Foundation Europe founded Surfrider Coastal Defenders in 1995, a program empowering citizens to respond directly to local issues with local solutions. Among the fleet of Coastal Defenders are the Waterman Testers, those whose monitor bathing water quality in areas that are suspected to be polluted.
