The complete list of World Surfing Reserves
A World Surfing Reserve (WSR) is a program launched by the non-governmental organization Save the Waves Coalition (STW) in 2009.
Its mission is to protect outstanding surf breaks around the world by recognizing and preserving key environmental, cultural, and economic attributes in coastal communities and their surrounding environments to protect them from the threat of development.
The WSR serves as a model standard for preserving wave breaks and their surroundings.
