Surfers against Sewage, based in St Agnes, Cornwall are an environmental charity who’s mission is to protect the UK’s oceans, waves and beaches. They target coastal environmental issues such as marine litter, sewage pollution, climate change, toxic chemicals, shipping, industry and coastal development and raise awareness through community action, campaigning, volunteering, conservation, education and scientific research.
This month, from the 28th – 31st March 2014, SAS are asking for volunteers to get involved in the Big Spring Beach Clean campaign, by organising local beach cleans across coastal communities in the UK including Cornwall. Surfers Against Sewage hope the event will involve 150 beach cleans, with over 3000 volunteers and remove a minimum of 10 tonnes of debris. These beach cleans are especially important this year as a result of extra debris washed up from the recent Hercules storm to hit the UK.
