Hands Across the Sand is an international protest that happened around the world on Sat, June 26th. People participated at 800 spots across North and South America, Asia, Europe, Australia, and Africa. The protest was about protecting our marine life, our fisheries, and our coastal economies from the disastrous effects of offshore oil drilling, and to send a clear message the White House and the world that we will not tolerate another disaster like what's happening in the Gulf Coast. 

Save Our Shores &  Surfrider were joined by over 250 protesters at Main Beach in Santa Cruz.

The image is powerful, the message is simple.  NO to Offshore Oil Drilling, YES to Clean Energy.
