Identification of surf breaks of national significance
Abstract
Surf break protection is experiencing a rapid rise in attention
on an international scale. Researchers of coastal management
issues and advocates for protection of the surfing environments
are merging here in New Zealand too. The following is effectively
an account of how this has led to the inclusion of a policy
identifying surf breaks of national significance in the latest
revision of the New Zealand Coastal Policy Statement (NZCPS)
– the only mandatory National Policy Statement under the
Resource Management Act (RMA) 1991.
