“World Surfing Reserves is setting the bar high and far-reaching by covering the globe with the next group of beaches to be protected. I look forward to the dedications and future protection those beaches – as well as many others – will see.” - Kelly Slater (professional surfer)
In this article Kelly Slater is talking about the World Surfing Reserves stand on protecting the beaches of Santa Cruz, California and Ericeira, Portugal. This ties to my topic because maybe if tourism in South Carolina keeps increasing then surfing will continue to decrease and we may need the help of this organization to save the beach and sport for us. This organization saves surf spots all over the world and turns them into surf reserves leaving no restrictions on the surfing community. This shows that this is something happening not only here, but all over the world and there is an organization that can help us out with protecting our spots. This organization provides a bigger voice rather than just a small group of citizens which can help our cause greatly and shift the law making branch’s opinion greatly. If we reach out to this organization then maybe they will help our beaches.
