Protect the Maldives!
Save The Waves Coalition and partners have launched an international campaign to #SaveOurWavesMaldives
Save The Waves and international partners are supporting local surfers and grassroots organizations in the Maldives to protect waves under immediate threat from development and infrastructure projects that are compromising some of the Maldives’ most precious surf spots.
Many of the country’s numerous and pristine surf ecosystems have been affected or outright destroyed by construction and infrastructure projects aimed at protecting private development interests in recent years.
Now local surfers estimate that there are approximately 20 waves that are immediately threatened by an infrastructure project, or have already been damaged or lost due to development.
