The everyday tool to protect the places you love.

How Does It Work?

The Save The Waves App crowdsources data from coastal users (like you!) who identify coastal threats like illegal development, plastic pollution and poor water quality.

This data you provide is shared with local partners and coastal agencies in our Coalition to identify and reduce threats in surf ecosystems across the globe. 

Identifying Coastal Threats

The app has six main threat categories: Coastal Development; Plastic Trash and Marine Debris; Sea Level Rise and Erosion; Water Quality; Coral Reef Impact; and Access.

You can also select a subcategory to further clarify the threat as well as a short description. Every detail helps us find a solution!
