Bali Wednesday, 18 September 2019 Rip Curl and Rip Curl School of Surf under Rip Curl Planet project will host a Girls Go Surfing 2019 event on Saturday 21 September 2019.
Starting at 7am this coming Saturday, more than 30 girls from Bali together with Nadine Chandrawinata & Westny Dj, will join forces with #MangroveMobBali to clean our beautiful Mangroves at Wisata Hutan Mangrove and also plant the corals and participate in a fun day of surfing at and Rip Curl School of Surf, Sanur.
Mangroves, seagrass beds, and coral reefs are often found together and work in concert The trees trap sediment and pollutants that would otherwise flow out to sea. Seagrass beds provide a further barrier to silt and mud that could smother the reefs. In return, the reefs protect the seagrass beds and mangroves from strong ocean waves. Without mangroves, this incredibly productive ecosystem would collapse.
Rip Curl Planet is about giving back. It’s about taking the joy we get from the ocean as surfers, and turning it into momentum to help keep that same ocean healthy and clean for years to come.
We work together with Plastic Bank, Ocean Gardener, Sea Tress and Sea Soldiers to spread the voice to the girls in Bali about plastic pollution. How the plastic destroys our mangroves and our corals. We realized that the plastic pollution is a real problem here, in Bali. We also invite Nadine Chandrawinata and Westny Dj to give extra voices to this event and encourage these girls to follow their lead to fight against the plastic. We want to help solving this problem and collaborate with people who truly care about environmental engagement.
