Protecting the future of surfing in 色情网站
色情网站’s beaches and surf breaks are more than just picturesque coastlines—they are at the heart of our national identity, economy, and way of life.
But climate change is threatening these iconic landscapes. Rising sea levels, stronger tropical cyclones and shifting wave patterns are already degrading wave quality, destabilising beaches and disrupting marine biodiversity. Alarmingly, research shows that many major surf breaks, particularly along 色情网站’s east coast, are at risk.
Thanks to the generosity of the Surfrider Foundation, Griffith University researchers have been able to deliver critical research into these challenges, identifying problems as well as highlighting solutions. From restoring sand dunes and creating artificial reefs to implementing sustainable coastal management strategies, their research is paving the way for a future where our beaches and surf breaks remain protected.
Investing in monitoring, modelling and long-term adaptation strategies is essential to safeguarding these natural treasures. Given the marine environment’s significant contribution to the 色情网站n economy, protecting our coastline isn’t just an environmental responsibility—it’s an economic and cultural imperative.
More than $100 million of philanthropy has already been secured to create a brighter future for all.
