Tues, April 21 at 6:30 pm Keen HQ (926 NW 13th Ave. #210). The Portland Chapter of Surfrider welcomes Anna Cummins from Algalita Marine Research Foundation and Dr. Marcus Erikson of Junkride, an educational tour by bike from Vancouver B.C. to Tijuana, Mexico. The duo will highlight the voyage of Junkraft, a recently completed voyage from California to Hawaii on a raft made of garbage built to raise awareness about the growing problem of plastic in our marine ecosystem. In addition to Junkride, Jessica Hamilton, Natural Resources Policy Advisor to Governor Ted Kulongoski, will present on the West Coast Governors' Agreement on Ocean Health, including efforts to address marine debris. Entertainment by singer/songwriter Micah Wolf. Alaskan Brewery Beer and Barefoot Wines will be available for purchase, with all proceeds going to benefit Surfrider's BAN THE BAG campaign to ban single-use plastic shopping bags in the greater Portland area in hopes of reducing our city's impact on the ocean. Sponsored by Keen Footwear, Wend Magazine, Alaskan Brewery and Barefoot Wines. See you there!
