Watch: Epic Waves Facing Extinction and What Surfers Can Do to Help

In his latest vlog above, Harmon shares a list of beloved surf breaks around the world that are currently facing extinction, including waves in the Maldives, Tahiti, Mexico, Spain, Costa Rica, and even Iceland. 

Harmon says that coastal construction projects causing surf spot destruction have been a "constant throughout history" and "either completely bury or drastically alter top surf breaks."

"We’ve all seen the effects such projects can have in other examples of lost waves, but for many of these breaks, it’s not too late," he captioned the video. 

Harmon says spreading awareness, signing the petitions listed below, and donating funds are the most effective ways to help preserve the environment and these world-class waves. 

He urges viewers:
