Protecting Amami-Oshima's Last Beach 
Katoku beach is located on the sub-tropical island of Amami-Oshima in the Ryukyu archipelago. It’s the last beach hamlet with a natural dune and without a seawall. It is known as one of the best surf breaks in Amami-Oshima with a biologically rich surf ecosystem.

Currently Katoku is under threat by a 6.5 meter tall, 180 meter long seawall project that would cover most of the beach. 
The seawall would displace the natural sand dune buffer causing severe erosion and eventually lead to the disappearance of the famous wave.

Save The Waves has joined local partner Association for the Conservation of Amami's Forests, Rivers and Coastal Ecosystems (ACAFRCE) and other organizations to campaign against the construction of a harmful seawall project and save Katoku Beach.
