Seacoast Paddleboard Club Champions Coastal Conservation with Charity Event
Paddlerboarders of all levels invited to participate in NH coastal paddle to benefit the Blue Ocean Society for Marine Conservation and the Jetty Rock Foundation.
The Seacoast Paddleboard Club will host the “Seacoast Paddle for Conservation,” on Sunday, August 3, 2025. This community-driven initiative is focused on supporting two prominent marine conservation organizations: the Blue Ocean Society for Marine Conservation and the Jetty Rock Foundation.
The event, which welcomes participants of all skill levels, offers two distinct paddling experiences. Experienced paddlers can challenge themselves with “The Seabrook Run,” a twelve-mile endurance paddle, while beginner to intermediate paddlers can enjoy “The Jenness Run,” a four-mile recreational paddle. Through a thoughtfully designed staggered start time, participants from both routes will converge at Jenness Beach before continuing as a unified group to finish the paddle at Pirate’s Cove Beach.
“We’re excited to bring the paddleboarding community together for such an important cause,” said Chris Carragher, Founder of the Seacoast Paddleboard Club. “Our coastal waters are precious resources that need our protection, and this event is a fantastic opportunity for paddlers to contribute to critical conservation efforts and have a good time in the process.”
Jeremy DeFilippis, Co-Founder and CEO of Jetty/Treasurer at the Jetty Rock Foundation, emphasized the significance of community engagement: “Community events like this are vital to our mission. They not only raise crucial funds but also build awareness about the importance of protecting our oceans and coastlines.”
Funds raised through sponsorships and peer-to-peer donations will directly support the Jetty Rock Foundation’s initiatives to enhance recreational opportunities along the coast and the Blue Ocean Society for Marine Conservation’s efforts to combat plastic pollution, preserve coastal ecosystems, and advocate for ocean-friendly policies
Jennifer Kennedy, Executive Director & Co-Founder of Blue Ocean Society, highlighted the event’s impact: “The Seacoast Paddle for Conservation makes a tangible difference in preserving our coastline. These funds directly support our work to protect marine habitats and educate the public about ocean conservation.”
