On 16th May, people across the UK will take to the water, shorelines and riverbanks in bigger numbers than ever before. Surfers Against Sewage biggest national day of action will see communities coming together, united with one demand: to end sewage pollution. Because up and down the UK sewage is STILL being dumped in our waterways, data is missing and we are paying the price.
We are sick of it. Sick of the lies, sick of the greed and sick of a system that’s rigged against us.
So this year, SAS are gearing up for the biggest and most impactful Paddle-Out Protests on record.
