All rights reserved.This chapter outlines the role that surfing reserves play in biodiver-sity conservation in Australia and Brazil. Surfing reserves demonstrate the possibility of untapped opportunities to use recreation (and possibly other cultural values) to secure biodiversity conservation in situations where purely environmental concerns are insufficient to obtain and fund protection. Both countries are megadiverse and surfing reserves are an important innovative opportunity to meet biodiversity targets while helping protect social and cultural capital, and to deliver economic ben-efits. These two countries provide contrasting examples of how surfing reserves have been implemented in conjunction with broader biodi-versity measures, and the effectiveness of the various surfing reserve regimes. These cases identify a new International Union for Conser-vation of Nature category, 'low-impact passive recreation (surfing_ reserve)', that has the potential to deliver positive biodiversity outcomes.
