Surfers Against Sewage

Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) is a national marine conservation and campaigning charity, which inspires, unites and empowers communities to take action to protect oceans, beaches, waves and wildlife. Stopping plastic pollution is the charity's current priority. 

The charity mobilises the UK’s biggest community of ocean activists through education and volunteering programmes, beach cleaning and campaigns.

The charity's Plastic Free Communities initiative supports 250 villages, towns and cities to reduce their single-use plastic use, uniting thousands of individuals, businesses, community groups and schools to protect local beaches and environments. Surfers Against Sewage also works with over 50,000 volunteers each year, who contribute over 150,000 hours of their time to remove millions of pieces of plastic from hundreds of beaches.
