Now Accepting Applications for the
Next World Surfing Reserve

World Surfing Reserves (WSR) is Save The Waves’ flagship program dedicated to protecting outstanding surf breaks across the globe.

WSRs serve as a model standard for surf break protection with ten officially declared reserves in countries including Australia, Peru, Chile, Brazil, the United States and more. If nominated, the local applicants would work in partnership with STW to pursue projects that protect their surf ecosystem.

The window for submissions is open from April 8th to October 15th, 2021. If interested, review our Application Process ([link removed]) here.

"The World Surfing Reserves program has shown time and again that real and lasting protection starts from the ground up and in the community that rallies around its waves. We are pleased to start the process that will add another World Surfing Reserve to this growing network of prestigious surf ecosystems."
- Trent Hodges, Save The Waves' Conservation Programs Manager

Beyond World-Class Waves

World Surfing Reserves also focus on the surrounding coastline.
At Save The Waves, we embrace the concept of a “surf ecosystem” - where the breaking wave, environment, and local community all interact and are key components of a defined region.

These traits are contributing factors in the selection process. Applications will be judged on each of the five main criteria: 1) Wave Quality and Consistency; 2) Environmental Characteristics; 3) Culture and Surf History; 4) Capacity and Local Support; and 5) Priority Conservation Area.
