A program by Surfrider Pacific Rim, Ocean Friendly Business Campaign works to register 15 new businesses in Tofino and Ucluelet each year as Ocean Friendly, by helping them transform their current operations to eliminate unnecessary plastics, divert waste from landfill, and adopt regenerative practices. Resources, innovative ideas, and best practices developed through this campaign are shared with the entire business community in the Pacific Rim. For a complete list of registered businesses, please visit here.

Surfrider has also developed a toolkit for Ocean Friendly Vacation Rentals. For a list of tips and suggestions, please link to the kit below.
