AUSTRALIA has the world's best surfing beaches, according to an international gathering of scientists, legislators, environmentalists and wave riders. At the Global Wave Conference in France this week attendees from more than 20 nations gave a thumbs up to Australia's surfing beaches as they considered an increasing threat to surfing environments.
"Australia has long been regarded as having many great beaches," National Surfing Reserves chairman Brad Farmer said.
"Now this conference is recognising Australia's 10,000 plus beaches as the world's best."
Founder of the organisation he represents, Mr Farmer is lobbying for the establishment of a Ministry for Coasts in Australia to help protect beaches.
"The world is looking to Australia (for) how to manage and protect beaches. It's an honour for us to be leading the way forward," he said.
