"Our work to protect surf ecosystems is about much more than the wave. It preserves coastal habitats, provides refuge for endemic species, and safeguards local communities who depend on the surfing economy for their livelihoods. Our growing coalition of local-to-global partners is forging a more resilient future against climate change - and we're catching waves and spreading stoke while we make a difference."
Rivian Foundation's grant
Rivian Foundation's support is helping Save The Waves to expand outreach and engagement efforts, such as the relaunch of the Save The Waves Film Festival and efforts to improve inclusion of stakeholders in the policy development process for the legal protection of surf areas. It is also helping the organization to develop tools for staff, coalition partners, and local advocates, including a conservation index of California surf breaks.
