Toxic chemical cocktail in our water ways exposed not by the Environment Agency but collaboration of Surfers Against Sewage watershed_investigations & York University. It’s time to face the fact that official monitoring of rivers & seas needs an urgent upgrade to protect human health & restore our waters.

Just before Christmas we launched The Ripple Effect, our first citizen science report. It is part of our campaign to empower local communities to take monitoring water quality into their own hands, so we can all build up an accurate picture of pollution in our inland and coastal

Enjoyed my first dawn surf at Mexico/Sandy Acres last Wednesday. Photo does it no justice. Was focused on getting in the water rather than capturing the moment - but it was beautiful. This is where I draw my energy for Surfers Against Sewage #EndSewagePollution & restoring our Ocean. 🌊

Today we're in London with We Own It, where Thames Water creditors are trying to squeeze out more money to bail them out of the 💩 they got themselves into. We have until next Tuesday to force the government to amend its fatally flawed Water legislation. It's time to

Water firms breached their environmental permits in around 20% of spot checks carried out by a watchdog. The Environment Agency, which only began recording these unexpected inspections from April last year, found 420 breaches in 2,027 probes. express.co.uk/news/uk/202172…
