Campaign for the ocean

Plastic. Chemicals. Human waste. Irresponsible production. Destructive industries. Profiteering pollution. Anyone harming the ocean is in our sights. And they won’t get away with it. For the ocean to thrive, we need to act now.

Surfers Against Sewage is a campaigning charity. But what does that mean?

Campaigning is fighting back against something together to make an impact. Voices, hands, hearts, energy, all working for a common cause.

Sometimes it means getting tough on those in positions of power, protesting against policies, or demanding action in the face of dithering.

We confront the issues head on, wherever we need to, from the beachfront to the front benches and everywhere in between. But that’s only made possible by the groundswell of people power in communities countrywide; Ocean Activists everywhere, taking actions every day to make a difference.
