Beachapedia grew out of a section of the Surfrider website that had been called "Coastal A-Z", which contained definitions of terms related to the beach/littoral and marine environments, and explanations of concepts related to the study, management, and preservation of those environments. As content proliferated, the need for a more robust management system became apparent. Surfrider Foundation chose MediaWiki and launched Beachapedia. In addition to foundation staff and activists, subject-matter experts and coastal management professionals are also invited to contribute.


Over time, the site has grown to include the [[Beachapedia:State of the Beach| State of the Beach Report]], a continuously-updated report covering coastal management issues, policies, and ratings for all of the coastal states in the US, plus the Canadian province of British Columbia.
'''Beachapedia''' is a wiki of Coastal Knowledge run by the [http://www.surfrider.org Surfrider Foundation], an international non-profit organization focused on issues related to Beaches: including Beach Access, {{tag|Water Quality}}, Beach and Surf Preservation, and the protection of the coastal {{tag|environment}}.


Because Surfrider has chapters and affiliates all over the world, Beachapedia is multi-lingual. The majority of the pages are currently only offered in {{Tag|Wiki English|English}}, but volunteers are actively working on translating pages into {{Tag|Wiki Japanese|Japanese}} and {{Tag|Wiki Spanish|Spanish}}. Beachapedia is set up to support German, French, Greek, Italian, Dutch, Portugese, Swedish, and Arabic as well.
