Thanks to your generous support, Save The Waves Coalition is working to protect, steward and defend surf ecosystems and coastlines around the world. From Australia to Brazil, Portugal to Mexico, Peru, Chile, Indonesia and beyond, the coalition is growing, engaging new partners and having a tangible impact on the places you love.

What did we do in 2019?
* Protected surf ecosystems like Brazil's Guarda Do Embaú, the latest World Surfing Reserve.
* Planted the seeds for new Surf Protected Area Networks (SPANs) in Chile, Mexico, Brazil and Indonesia.
* Identified coastal threats in 34 countries with the Endangered Waves App and awarded a $5,000 stewardship prize to clean up the waves in Fiji's Viti Levu.
* Defended crown jewel surf ecosystems like Oaxaca's Punta Conejo, receiving over 265,000 campaign signatures and working with local community partners to secure permanent protection.


The impact is significant. When we protect surf ecosystems, we are protecting more than just a wave. We are preserving the unique biodiversity and environmental characteristics of a coastline, and safeguarding the local economy and rich cultural heritage. Around the world, vital and amazing surf ecosystems remain intact and continue to be protected through our global programs.

We have big plans for 2020! Next year, we'll be rolling out our plan to protect hundreds of surf spots and thousands of miles of coastlines in ten key regions with our Coalition partners around the world.

Please consider making a special year-end donation to help us continue our hard work and protect the places you love. This year, each donation via Patagonia Action Works is matched dollar-for-dollar up to $10,000 by our friends at Patagonia! Go to savethewaves.org/donate and contribute today to double your impact.
