⚠️Storms are spilling sewage: don't get sick from the sea
Raw sewage discharged all around the South West and Wales region last week, following heavy rainfall. Everyone should know when this happens. Get the latest, real-time sewage alerts from our free Safer Seas Service app to stay safe in the sea.
New in-app features this year to help pressure the government and water companies:
* Email the local MP when there’s a pollution warning - so they know voters care about ending sewage pollution,
* Send a health report: tell us if you’ve been sick from the sea - to strengthen our campaigning work.
Last year, disgusting sewage spilled into bathing waters 1,700 times - putting swimmers at risk. And those are just the spills water companies told us about!
That’s why we’re telling the government to take urgent action stopping sewage and agricultural runoff from polluting where we swim. Take action.
We can't stop sewage without you

Ocean recovery: we need Marine Protected Areas
The ocean needs nature-based solutions, that’s why we’ve teamed up with other top organisations calling for a radical agenda to recover our oceans by 2030, protecting people, nature and climate. You can get involved: show how much the ocean means to you by sharing your favourite seaside photos in the #OceanDreaming competition.
In solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement
Earlier this month, we took part in #BlackOutTuesday - a social media black out in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement. When we made that statement, we were determined to follow it up with further action and support. The past few weeks have been a wake up call to us all, that we should do more to promote anti-racism and other inclusivity in our lives, our organisation and our work.
We recognise we should have done more in the past, and we are starting to take steps towards improving our understanding and planning a more inclusive future. Last week we held a roundtable discussion to hear reflections and ideas from across our team, and we saw a real energy and motivation to improve. We don’t have all the answers, and we won’t be making any knee-jerk responses, but we wanted to let you know that we are committed to learning and excited about improving SAS’s impact and reach.
