Surfonomics Survey

Surfonomics Survey

This study aims to highlight the economic value that surfing and watersports bring to Fuerteventura. By demonstrating how renewable resources like waves contribute to sustainable economic growth, we seek to establish protective measures for Fuerteventura’s coastlines. This study will also inform management decisions to preserve surf resources, inspire further Surfonomics research, and contribute to a national database for the growing blue economy and conservation efforts. The survey is completely anonymous, and we will not collect any personal data. Thank you for your time and support!

What is your opinion about Fuerteventura becoming a World Surfing Reserve?*

I think it’s an interesting idea — it could help protect the waves and the environment.It might be a good thing, as long as the local community is involved and environmental limits are respected.I have mixed feelings — I think it’s important to carefully consider both the potential benefits and consequences.I’m not so sure — I’m concerned it could bring negative impacts like overcrowding.I’d like to know more before forming an opinion.
