'''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}}.
'''Beachapedia''' is a [[wiki]] of coastal knowledge run by the [https://www.Surfrider.org Surfrider Foundation], an international non-profit {{tag|organisation}} 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 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 states in the {{tag|United States}}, plus the Canadian province of {{tag|British Columbia}}.

Because Surfrider has chapters and affiliates all over the world, Beachapedia is multilingual.  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 {{tag|Wiki German|German}}, {{tag|Wiki French|French}}, {{tag|Wiki Greek|Greek}}, {{tag|Wiki Italian|Italian}}, {{tag|Wiki Dutch|Dutch}}, {{tag|Wiki Portuguese|Portuguese}}, {{tag|Wiki Swedish|Swedish}}, and {{tag|Wiki Arabic|Arabic}} as well.
