Meet a few of our fabulous protest leads...

Yvette at Croyde Bay, Devon
|
|
"The North Devon coast is very special and we want to preserve those world class waves and the wonderful community for future generations. It's very important to gather our surfers, swimmers, dog walkers, painters, families and friends we haven't yet met to share our passion and love for our local beaches and tell the decision makers: enough is enough!"

Stu at Brighton
|
|
"We're seeing record levels of sewage pollution in our blue spaces, especially here on the south coast. I have been personally affected. I can't go surfing or sea swimming and surf therapy for young people has to be cancelled. I'm sick of it. Join us at the Brighton Paddle-Out as we call for reform of the water industry!"

Ruby at Portrush, Northern Ireland
|
|
"In Northern Ireland not a single water body meets good chemical standard. 12% of species risk extinction here and levels of bacteria are more than three times higher than what's permitted at popular swimming spots. This must change. Those who are meant to be protecting us, are neglecting us."

The team at Broad Haven, Wales
|
|
"In Pembrokeshire, our lives and wellbeing are intertwined with the sea. There are too many sewage releases onto busy beaches, often without warning, putting water users at serious risk. Many of our marine areas are protected and vital to national biodiversity, yet pollution continues to pour straight into them."

Jenny & Dale at Newbury
|
|
"Our community deserves clean, safe water. The River Kennet runs through our town, and it's heartbreaking to see it repeatedly polluted by sewage. Water quality affects our health, wildlife and right to enjoy nature without risk. We want water companies held accountable and urgent investment in infrastructure—not more excuses."

Rose at Plymouth
|
|
"In Plymouth we will be paddling out at the East Hoe Beach to call for an end to sewage pollution. As the most polluted beach in the South West it is vital we voice the severity situation. We shouldn't have to risk our health to enjoy this beautiful beach."
