Surfrider Foundation: TJ Marshall, of Surfrider’s South Florida Chapter

(Although I grew up on the San Diego coastline, I rarely see the Ocean that I love, so I truly enjoy listening to the podcasts of the environmental activist group Surfrider Foundation. They are also an inspirational example of localized activism that has increased their impact through formation of a larger coalition of communities that share the same concerns.)

TJ Marshall, of Surfrider’s South Florida Chapter, at Joe Allen in Miami Beach, FL.
Action-central in Miami is TJ Marshall’s roving car; packed with development blueprints he is watchdogging, a 6-something thruster to nab that ephemeral swell and a sticker on the rear window reading "Surfing is not a crime". TJ is "on it" in so many ways, figuring out how to cobble together ad-hoc enviro strategies in midst of beach high rises. Maybe we should call him TJ MacGyver.
