From the rugged Highlands to stunning coastlines, Scotland’s lochs, rivers and seas should be safe for everyone to enjoy. But decades of failed regulation mean our waters are being polluted by sewage, plastic waste, and the toxic chemicals they carry—a perfect storm that’s making water users sick and choking our most cherished wild places.
The truth about Scotland’s sewage scandal is still hidden. With 70% of overflows going unmonitored, we don’t know the full scale of the problem. But we do know this: the next Scottish Government has the power to turn back the rising tide of pollution.
We’ve worked with communities and organisations across Scotland to develop a manifesto that outlines what is needed to end sewage and plastic pollution. Whether you’re a wild swimmer, surfer, kayaker, or simply someone who loves Scotland’s natural beauty, now is the time to make your voice heard. Find our Manifesto for Scotland here.
This manifesto is yours to use. Start conversations with local communities and businesses, take it to candidates and ask what their party will do to deliver our asks, and let us know if we can support you.
This manifesto – and our 2026 campaigning – centres on four key asks of the next Scottish Government:
- Protect public health
- Reveal the truth through 100% sewage discharge monitoring
- Enforce the law through tough independent regulators, and
- Cut plastic pollution and create a circular economy
