SUMMARY:From Surfonomics to Insurance: Valuing and Protecting Surf Ecosystems
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Nik Strong-Cvetich and Diego Sancho-Gallegos of the Save The Waves CoalitionSurf ecosystems the land-to-sea interface that creates the conditions for breaking\, rideable waves for surfing\, and the flora\, fauna\, and human communities that depend on them generate enormous economic and cultural value for coastal communities\, yet they remain largely unrecognized as natural assets in coastal policy and planning. This webinar introduces Surfonomics a methodology that quantifies the economic value derived from surfing in coastal communities and illustrates how reframing a surf break as a natural asset can support coastal conservation. Drawing on Save The Waves Coalition's work around the world\, presenters will trace the evolution from economic valuation of surf breaks to include climate vulnerability assessments and the design of financial tools that can sustain surf-dependent economies under a changing climate. The featured case study focuses on Oriente Salvaje World Surfing Reserve in El Salvador\, where the Save The Waves Coalition and partners are developing a parametric insurance pilot to protect surf ecosystems and the coastal communities that depend on them the first of its kind. Attendees will come away with an understanding of natural resource valuation and its role in supporting conservation and the livelihoods that rely on the sustainable use of these resources.Hosted by: OCTORegister Here
