The study, published in the scientific journal Frontiers in Marine Science, was co-authored by Conservation International's Kellee Koenig, senior geographic information system (GIS) manager/cartographer, Jack Kittinger, vice president in the Center for Oceans, and Nik Strong-Cvetich, Save the Waves CEO.
The work was led by Dan Reineman of the Environmental Science and Research Program at California State University Channel Islands.
The results identify an opportunity for the surf and conservation communities to join together in an effort to protect and conserve these culturally significant areas that are key for biodiversity and economies.
Popular surf spots are prime areas for biodiversity conservation
