In this episode, we explore Surfrider's decades-long campaign against offshore drilling and the devastating environmental costs of our dependence on fossil fuels with Surfrider CEO Dr. Chad Nelsen and Surfrider's Ocean Protection Manager, Pete Stauffer. We also hear from Violet Sage Walker, the Chairwoman of the Northern Chumash Tribal Council — nominators of the Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary — and learn about her multigenerational connection to the California coast, and her Tribe's battle to protect our ocean and beaches from the harms of offshore drilling, dating back to a 1969 oil spill in Santa Barbara.
