As 2023 comes to a close, we’re looking back at the wins and achievements of a few World Surfing Reserves and what their works means for surf ecosystem conservation. 

This year, our local partners at the 12 World Surfing Reserves worked on projects and initiatives ranging from habitat restoration, water quality monitoring and improvement, coastal protection, policy action and community engagement. 

Some of our favorite moments include:

  • 🏄  8+ new surf breaks safeguarded with the dedication of the North Devon World Surfing Reserve 

  • ✍️  15-hectare coastal park declaration in Ericeira, Portugal

  • 🌱  120+ native tree and plant restoration in Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica 

  • 🛟  9 restocked safety stations and accomplished surf etiquette program in Noosa, Australia 

  • 💧  3+ years of detailed water quality monitoring pays off for potential treatment facility in Guarda Do Embaú + 46 local businesses certified in sustainability practices
