Wave reserves, initially aimed at protecting surf ‘spots’, are becoming a way to ensurethe conservation of coastal areas that are of great ecological and economic value. They foster local development and contribute to countries’ achievements toward international objectives. Several projects to implement large wave reserves are on their way.

Le programme Cybelle Méditerranée donne la possibilité de signaler la faune marine, en quelques minutes et directement en mer, grâce à l'application mobile OBSenMER. Ce programme de sciences participatives en mer ne pourrait exister sans la contribution précieuse des plaisanciers et usagers de la mer. Grâce aux nombreuses informations collectées, nous pouvons, avec les scientifiques partenaires du programme, suivre l'évolution de la biodiversité marine du large, et détecter notamment l'impact des activités humaines et du changement climatique.

Scientists at the University of Portsmouth believe a strategy used to protect popular surfing spots could now be more widely adopted to help preserve endangered coastal environments. A new research paper, published this week in Trends in Ecology & Evolution, says, ‘wave reserves’, initially aimed at protecting treasured surf spots, are also a way to ensure the conservation of ecologically valuable coastal areas. The concept of wave reserves has gained popularity over the past few decades. The first wave reserve was established in Bells Beach, Australia in 1973 by surfers keen to defend their prized waves from damaging human activity.
