Für diejenigen, die es noch nicht wissen: Surfers Against Sewage ist eine Wohltätigkeitsorganisation zum Schutz der Meere, die mit Gemeinden zusammenarbeitet, um Ozeane, Wellen, Strände und das Meeresleben zu schützen.

It was created in 1990 by a group of Cornish surfers from the villages of St Agnes and Porthtowan on the North coast of Cornwall.

A neighbour of ours up here at Wheal Kitty Workshops, we have seen Hugo and the team at SAS grow and achieve a multitude of success over the past 10 years alone with Hugo at the helm and are fast becoming recognized as of one of the most important UK charities of the
moment.

From raising the profile of the ocean and the role it plays in our lives to creating and supporting a group of thriving ocean activists the world over, it very much feels that after 30+ years of action,
they too are only just getting started.

We spoke about the long-standing issues of water quality to the emerging understanding of what’s being coined the ‘Blue Economy’. From citizen science and speaking truth to power to the UN Decade for
the ocean and the radical environmental action we need to see happen now.
