<b>Beachapedia</b> is a [[wiki]] of coastal knowledge. It is run by the [https://www.Surfrider.org Surfrider Foundation], an international non-profit organization that was focused on issues related to beaches, including beach access, {{tag|water}} quality, beach and surf preservation, and the protection of the coastal {{tag|environment}}. | |||
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 {{tag|Maritime|marine}} environments, and explanations of concepts related to the study, management, and preservation of those environments. | 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 {{tag|Maritime|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 {{tag|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 [[:Category:State|states]] in the {{tag|United States of America}}, plus the [[:Category:Canada|Canadian]] province of {{tag|British Columbia}}. | 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 [[:Category:State|states]] in the {{tag|United States of America}}, plus the [[:Category:Canada|Canadian]] province of {{tag|British Columbia}}. | ||
