How the fight for Chickens became the catalyst for surf break protection across the islands

It has been two years since Save The Waves and local partners launched the “Save Our Waves Maldives” campaign. Our fight to reverse the ongoing damage to the famous wave at Chickens continues. We are also advocating for the protection of all of Maldives’ treasured surf spots, which are under constant attack from coastal development and infrastructure.

What is the Maldives campaign?

Chickens, one of the best and most accessible waves in the Maldives, has been significantly altered due to the construction of a seawall. We launched the Save Our Waves Maldives campaign ([link removed]) in February 2021 with local partners to protect Chickens, which catapulted the issue of surf break protection.

With many Maldivian waves facing damage from infrastructure projects, our Coalition started working on securing long-term protection for surf ecosystems through government agencies to ensure that no more surf spots are lost to ill-planned coastal development.

This campaign started with Chickens and has grown into a movement to protect dozens of amazing surf ecosystems across the Maldives.
