World Surfing Reserves Program
presented by João De Macedo of Save the Waves
The World Surfing Reserves program is an initiative designed to enshrine and protect the world’s best surf spots. The program mission is to proactively designate and help preserve outstanding waves, surf zones and their surrounding environments, around the world. The goal is to designate and protect a unique part of the coastal environment recognized by the local community, local surf organizations, regional and national authorities, Save The Waves Coalition and its partners.
João De Macedo is an accomplished professional Portuguese surfer, competing around the world in the Pipeline contests and on the European Professional Surfing Circuit. João founded the Lisbon based surf school Praia Grande Surf Academia and worked as the Portuguese National Coach in 2002 and 2004. João lives in San Francisco and when not assisting Save The Waves, he works as the eco-manager for Mavericks Surf Ventures, Inc., which is the organization behind the Mavericks Surf Contest.
Surfrider SMC will also share our 2009 campaign objectives and ask for your volunteer involvement.
