The Surfrider Foundation is a non-profit environmental organization dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of the worlds waves, oceans and beaches for all people through conservation, activism, research, and education. Protecting recreational resources and teaching others that a breaking wave is a natural resource is central to our mission.

The Surfrider Foundation, Delaware Chapter supports the permit application submitted by the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control to reconstruct and refurbish the north and south timber and stone groins at Herring Point in Cape Henlopen State Park, Lewes, Sussex County, Delaware.

The Delaware Chapter feels that this action is the best of current options to ensure continued recreational use of the Herring Point beach area by all groups within the public.

The Capitol (District of Columbia) and the Ocean City (Maryland) chapters of the Surfrider Foundation also support this position.

I am a recreational user of the resources at Herring Point and I am hereby supporting Surfrider, Delaware Chapter's position.
