World Surfing Reserves (WSR) is a program launched in 2009 by the organization ''Save The Waves Coalition'' aimed at protecting global surf habitats. The program proactively identifies, designates and enshrines international waves, surf zones and surrounding environments.〔(Save The Waves Coalition Website, World Surfing Reserves Home Page )〕 ==Background and Mission== The mission of the WSR program is to gain international recognition and support for wave and coastal protection around the world by creating a global network of designated surfing reserves. WSR also recognizes environmental, social, cultural and economic benefits of waves.〔(National Surfing Reserves, Home Page )〕 Leaders in the international surfing, environmental and scientific communities launched WSR at the ''Value of Waves Roundtable''〔http://www.savethewaves.org/news/view/56/〕 held in Half Moon Bay, California. WSR was created in conjunction with National Surfing Reserves Australia,〔http://www.surfingreserves.org/〕 and has established partnerships with the International Surfing Association (ISA), and ''Stanford University’s Center for Responsible Travel (CREST).〔http://www.responsibletravel.org/〕 World Surfing Reserves is led by an international Executive Committee and Vision Council. It is the responsibility of these groups to govern the program and make the final wave selections. For a specific surf site to enter WSR, the region must have exceptional and consistent surf, along with a rich history and culture of surfing, as well as strong community support. In August 2009, WSR called for nominations from all national surfing federations.〔(Save The Waves Coalition, World Surfing Reserves Nominations )〕 More than 150 sites were nominated from 34 countries. WSR eventually plans to induct 30-40 surf breaks around the world. The program has gained a substantial amount of positive feedback and support from the sport's leaders, including Kelly Slater.〔(March 15, 2010, ''Surfer Magazine'', "Kelly Slater Joins WSR Movement" )〕 You can also read Drew Kampion's ''World Surfing Reserves Manifesto''.〔http://www.savethewaves.org/news/view/110/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「World Surfing Reserves」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
