The fight to help protect our surfbreaks is heating up and we need your continued membership support.
With your help we propose to appeal the expected decision (expected out on 19th of July) from the Otago Regional Council to allow their 100% subsiduary, Port Otago, to dispose of dredging waste in the ‘protected’ swell corridors of both the Spit and Murderers (Whareakeake) – pictured below, surfbreaks.
We also may need to apply for Ministry for the Environment funds (ELA) to support any appeal, and the application requires a list of names of all members (including addresses) so we would greatly appreciated your continued support and membership.

Membership is only $12 per person and runs from 1st April to 31st March each year. Donations we could use anytime, as the cost of protecting surfbreaks – by attending council hearings, making submissions and monitoring surfbreaks – continues to rise.
Membership gives you electronic voting rights, representation and regular information through our monthly email newsletter. Just go to our website, via the link below, enter your details and make the payment online using either Paypal (if you have a Paypal account) or by using your regular Debit or Credit bank card – it’s that simple.
All the best from the Surfbreak Protection team. p.s thanks for your support.
