“I love the passion and teamwork that comes from working to protect a place people care about. Environmental protection is not a solo mission. Taking care of the environment is a way to take care of people, with people.” -Stena Troyer (@stenatroyer) has played a vital role in the Surfrider South Sound Chapter (@southsoundsurfrider) in Tacoma, Washington. In addition to serving as multiple executive committee positions and spearheading various programs and campaigns, Stena is the chapter's Blue Water Task Force Coordinator. Stena is as passionate about recreating in her local waterways as she is advocating for their protection!
