Hi John, We need your help to #EndSewagePollution We are calling on the UK Government to end sewage pollution and guarantee safe-seas all year round. To ensure the health and wellbeing of the public and help save the Ocean, we want: An enhanced water-quality testing regime World leading water quality legislation Nature-based solutions to sewage pollution The Government is willfully ignoring the worst pollution events in our country and allowing big businesses to continually contaminate rivers and the ocean. As huge volumes of sewage and agricultural pollution enter UK waters our country is now ranked a pitiful 25th out of 30 EU counties for coastal water quality. Rivers are also struggling under the pressure – just 14% meet good environmental standards. These delicate ecosystems are crucial to the health and wellbeing of society and should be highly protected, not used as a dumping ground for big businesses. This disgraceful reality is made even more significant at present while the transmission of COVID-19 from raw sewage is unknown and the 2020 testing programme is running with minimal action. Sign the petition today to make sure these demands are met. It’s time to come together as #GenerationSea and #EndSewagePollution.
