SUMMARY:From Surfonomics to Insurance: Valuing and Protecting Surf Ecosystems
DESCRIPTION:Organizer: OCTO\nDate and Time: Thu, Jun 4, 2026 · 12:00 PM EDT (9:00 AM PDT / 4:00 PM UTC)\nLocation: Virtual\nAbout This Event: Surf ecosystems, the land-to-sea interface that generates breaking, rideable waves and supports the communities and biodiversity around them, create significant economic and cultural value yet remain largely unrecognized as natural assets in coastal policy. This webinar introduces Surfonomics, a methodology for quantifying the economic value surfing generates for coastal communities, and shows how reframing a surf break as a natural asset opens new conservation pathways.\nThe featured case study follows the Save The Waves Coalition’s work on the Oriente Salvaje World Surfing Reserve in El Salvador, where a first-of-its-kind parametric insurance pilot is being designed to protect surf ecosystems against climate risk.\nWhat to Expect:\n\nThe Surfonomics methodology and its origins\nClimate vulnerability assessments for surf ecosystems\nCase study: Oriente Salvaje World Surfing Reserve, El Salvador\nHow parametric insurance can backstop coastal conservation\n\nPanel Presenters / Speakers:\n\nNik Strong-Cvetich, Save The Waves Coalition\nDiego Sancho-Gallegos, Save The Waves Coalition\n\nContact or Registration: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_H5ZIdxmDRJu9Jg5w2zuTww ( https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_H5ZIdxmDRJu9Jg5w2zuTww )\n
