The mission statement of World Surfing Reserves is to “proactively identify, designate and preserve outstanding waves, surf zones and surrounding environments around the world”. The Save The Waves Coalition, along with key partners like National Surfing Reserves (NSR) Australia and the International Surfing Association (ISA), launched the World Surfing Reserves concept in 2009, and it now serves as a global model for preserving wave breaks and their surrounding areas by recognizing and protecting the key environmental, cultural, economic and community attributes of surfing areas.
The Noosa World Surfing Reserve area covers the world class point breaks from Laguna Bay on Noosa Main Beach all the way to the beach break at North Sunshine Beach.
The stewardship plan for Noosa World Surfing Reserve is to unite all relevant community groups with the local surfing community in an ongoing endeavour to preserve and protect the surfing assets of Noosa, now officially identified as among the world’s best.
Our Association aims to play a leading role in facilitating discussion, planning and action to ensure that the voice of all beach users will be heard in determining the future of our points and beach breaks. This will include education and promotion of awareness of the fragility and value of our coastline.
