Numerous ecological regulations impact our fish, yet few volunteers are interested in doing the hard work of registering them to vote. Canvas your local waterways with today's Groupon: for $30, you get a summer-evening harbor kayak tour with OEX Dive & Kayak (a $60 value). Voyages launch at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday nights from the beach adjacent to OEX's Sunset Beach storefront.

The summer-evening harbor kayak tour is comprised of one part physical activity and one part natural beauty, with the occasional parting of such sweet sorrow. Hop aboard for a leisurely paddle through picturesque Huntington Harbor, catching some fresh glimpses of your city from the canal while breathing in fresh air from the lips of little fishy friends. Soak up the scenery as you skillfully weave your way around the five islands with friends, where the natural beauty is overwhelming enough to free any philosopher from a fixed allegory for reality. If summer water adventures too quickly slip from your grips, you can also use this Groupon for a Christmas-light tour come December (a $55 value).

Powered by an earth-friendly, paddle-shaped motor, you can peacefully glide across the surface of the water with a crystal-clear environmental conscience. In between occasional grunts and giggles on your quiet ride, you'll have no difficulty catching wind of the wise words of your guide. Each enthusiastic leader will keenly locate local wildlife while peppering in historical gossip related to rock formations that vaguely resemble hometown celebrities.
