LOCAL NEWS:
Talk about entering a ‘period of heightened activity.’ Gustav weren’t even done workin’ the Gulf before Hanna reached hurricane status off the Bahamas, and both Ike and Josephine became earned names out in the Atlantic. With Gustav killing 77 in Haiti alone, this season could quickly grow even deadlier. Monitor every storm at National Hurricane Center and stay tuned to Jeff Masters blog for a thorough discussion.

Meanwhile, the storm over offshore drilling is getting nastier as current Florida legislation could set a precedent for all US coastal states. Read Surfline’s coverage then click here to speak your mind.

Sounds like the perfect time to attend this Thursday’s Surfrider Rincon meeting at the Balneario Público de Rincón (Rincón Public Beach). Meetings start at 7:30 pm.

The next ESA Puerto Rico comp set for Sept. 6 at Jobos. Please make sure that your membership is up to date and that you turn in your entry by Sept. 2 After this date entries will only be accepted at the beach and with limited space available.

It only takes a little asphalt to make water quality worse. And the PR Department of Transportation's proposed bicycle and pedestrian trail is actually a two lane paved road that will harm or destroy beaches, habitat, beach access and water quality and threatens endangered species including sea turtles and Elkhorn coral. Click here to send a letter urging Rincón's Mayor, the Governor of Puerto Rico, the PR Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration to redesign the path with community input.

And volunteers are now testing local waters as part of the Blue Water Task Force — the Surfrider Foundation's water quality monitoring, education and advocacy program created to alert citizens and officials in their communities about water quality problems and to work toward solutions. Samples are collected every Tuesday and results are available on line. For more information, check the BWTF website. And to volunteer, please call 787.823.2784.
