Our campaigns inspire action that result in conservation.
Save The Waves was founded defending an endangered wave, a surf break called Jardim do Mar on the island of Madeira, in 2003.
To this day, our campaigns are a central pillar of our organization and how we preserve surf ecosystems from active threats worldwide.
What do we do? We mount international campaigns to defend surf ecosystems under threat and inspire the public to take action.
We partner with local communities and movements to mitigate and defeat immediate threats, or to preemptively protect surf ecosystems before they can be destroyed or altered.
No wave or surf break is the same. We respond to these situations in a diverse number of ways. Using our experience and platform, we attempt to provide expert advice, strategies, and support for all inquiries.
Where are we working now? Currently, Save The Waves is supporting local partners to protect endangered waves in The Maldives and Katoku, Japan. Explore below and take action today.
