ABOUT
This website has been created as part of a 3-year scientific research project in New
Zealand, funded by the Ministry for Business, Innovation and Employment. The
project entitled, “Remote Sensing, Classification and Management Guidelines for Surf
Breaks of National and Regional Significance” began in October 2015.
The website provides information and resources concerning research on surf breaks
in support of their sustainable management. Here you can find out about where and
when research is being undertaken, what methods are being employed, and what
data is already available.
