Waterline was founded by me, Yvette Cave, a Churchill Fellow, researching global pathways for inclusive surf governance and ocean access, Waterline brings international comparative insight into national sport, conservation and brand ecosystems.

In reality, access to ocean spaces, participation in environmental movements and influence within marine decision-making are shaped by history, culture and power.

A collaborative systems which strengthen alignment between inclusion commitments and governance structures across surf, conservation and marine contexts.

Waterline expands equitable ocean access by strengthening governance, representation, and stewardship across surf and conservation systems
