World Water Day is March 22nd! Every eight months, 10.9 million gallons of oil runs off streets and driveways and into our nations waters – equivalent to the amount lost in the Exxon Valdez spill. Each year, approximately 18,000 beaches are closed or posted as unhealthy due to bacterial contamination and/or sewage spills. March 22nd is World Water Day. Founded in 1993 by the United Nations, this global observance highlights the need for the care and management of the world’s water resources. This year’s theme, “Urban Water Usage” highlights the ongoing challenges we face as urban populations continue to grow. To learn more, visit Surfrider's World Water Day Website
