** WORLD SURFING RESERVES
ON THE GROUND UPDATE
------------------------------------------------------------

As we head into the second half of the year here are a few highlights and updates from Save The Waves Coalition’s flagship program.


** Representatives from All 12 World Surfing Reserves Convene at Coalition Summit
------------------------------------------------------------

The Coalition Summit held in Santa Cruz from June 7 through June 9 was a historic event for Save The Waves and the protection of surf ecosystems more broadly. It was the first time in the history of the World Surfing Reserves program that we brought the entire network together with all 12 WSR’s represented by a Local Stewardship Council member.

** Playa Hermosa WSR One-Year Later: Progress Made
------------------------------------------------------------

One year ago, Playa Hermosa was officially dedicated as the 11th World Surfing Reserve and the first in Central America. While a WSR dedication is a celebration of the recognition of a surf ecosystem becoming a World Surfing Reserve, it is also the formal beginning and implementation of the Stewardship Plan where the vision for conservation is actualized.

** Guarda do Embau WSR Water Quality Project Update
------------------------------------------------------------

Guarda do Embau, the ninth World Surfing Reserve, has continued to work diligently towards the long-term protection of the most important ecosystem attribute for the coast, the Rio do Madre. It is this river that flows from the mountains of the Serra do Tabuleiro State Park down to the breaking waves at Guarda that is the heart and soul of the surf ecosystem and the most vital asset in terms of water quality and public health. This important watershed also is critically important for fish and wildlife of the region and provides the sediment needed to create the sandbanks that make Guarda’s waves world-class.
