About Surfers Against Sewage

Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) is a UK-based environmental charity dedicated to protecting the oceans, waves, and beaches that are vital to surfers and coastal communities. Founded in 1990 by a group of surfers concerned about water quality, SAS has grown into a leading voice for marine conservation.

The organisation campaigns tirelessly to raise awareness about the impact of pollution on our seas and promotes sustainable practices among individuals and businesses. Their core activities include:

• Advocacy: Engaging with policymakers to influence legislation that protects marine environments.
• Education: Providing resources and workshops to educate the public about the importance of clean water and healthy ecosystems.
• Community Engagement: Mobilising volunteers for beach clean-ups and other local initiatives to foster community involvement in environmental protection.

SAS also runs various campaigns aimed at reducing plastic waste, promoting sustainable surfing practices, and encouraging responsible tourism. Their vision is a world where our oceans are free from pollution and thriving with life, ensuring that future generations can enjoy the beauty and benefits of our natural waters.

Through partnerships with other organisations and grassroots movements, SAS amplifies its message and drives change at both local and national levels. The charity’s commitment to transparency and accountability ensures that supporters can trust their contributions are making a real difference.
