Help preserve the wave and watershed at San Miguel as
Baja California’s first State Park.
Watch and share the Surfing for Change Video:
San Miguel was the first wave ever surfed in Mexico and remains as one of the last intact watersheds on the Baja peninsula. At the heart of the recently declared World Surfing Reserve, the San Miguel watershed is a critical riparian ecosystem that contributes necessary sand and cobblestones to form the classic wave. The watershed is also an important source of drinking water for local residents, provides an openspace for the community of Ensenada, and is a hub of biodiversity. Save The Waves and the Bahía de Todos Santos World Surfing Reserve are trying to legally protect the watershed and rivermouth this through designation as Baja California’s first State Park.
We need YOU to help protect this special place.
Approving the 58 hectare Arroyo San Miguel State Park, proposed by Mexican NGO ProNatura Noroeste, will create the first state park in Baja California and protect the wave and watershed from urban development, sand mining in the upper watershed, and water quality threats.
Here’s how you can help:
