Wamberal Beach Save Our Sand is a campaign that began prior to the establishment of Surfrider Central Coast. Surfrider Central Coast has absorbed the campaign and are now leading it. Surfrider Central Coast are against the proposed seawall at Wamberal Beach and are campaigning to prevent the destruction of our beach. According to a range of studies, a seawall at Wamberal Beach will destroy the beach over the long term. The available public information dicates any hard structure built on beachfronts leads to fast track erosion and eventually destroys the beach. Hence, the proposed seawall is against community morals and against the best interests of Central Coasts.
The Save Our Sand campaign has had extreme success. SOS have galvanised the local community over the environmental protection of the beach for the whole of the community in a very short time, by promotion of awareness, research, legislature and public forums for the benefit of the all of the community. Within 6 months the campaign has already received environmental awards such as the Rookie of the Year from Community Environment Network. The campaign also boasts a community following and engagement with over 4,000 people.
