Explain the project, the partners and what we hope to gain from this work.

EPS Campaign Highlights:

Build a processing facility in Tofino to process waste EPS foam into surfboard blanks and compaction for efficient shipping.
Create media to communicate the problems with EPS used in the marine environment.
Collaborate with local shapers to build quality surfboards from waste EPS retrieved during shoreline cleanups.

We would like to acknowledge that the work and play we conduct occurs on the unceded traditional territories of the Coast Salish, Kwakwaka'wakw, Nuu-chah-nulth, Wuikinuxv, and Heiltsuk First Nations. We acknowledge that by being here, we must abide by the laws of the Nations whose land we are upon. We give thanks and recognition to the original stewards of these lands for their ongoing efforts to 'protect what they love' and for partnering with us on this worthy cause.
