Nicaragua’s head of the Environmental Agency has informed Save The Waves that the break at Rancho Santana will not be harmed. Developers at Pinnacle Construction have abandoned all plans to divert the river “Lemon”, which potentially could have damaged the wave at Playa Santana, in addition to dramatically altering the natural beach. Residents and local surfers aided by Save the Waves were successful in putting enough pressure on the developers and government officials to stop plans to divert the river.
Congratulations and thanks to everyone who participated on this campaign!
