Drown Zero Initiative

Since 2017, the Drown Zero project has installed life-saving stations on beaches across Brevard County, providing buoys and floatation devices for use by beachgoers in case of an emergency in the water.

Surfing’s Evolution and Preservation Foundation saw this project as a worthwhile effort to save lives and began sponsoring the project in 2019 and will continue to do so in the coming years.

Since the implementation of these life-saving stations, there have been multiple documented rescues using the floatation devices. The Drown Zero program has expanded to other counties throughout Florida.
