Surfers Against Sewage are on a mission to get 100,000 signatures to help Protect Our Waves.
The goal is to get UK government to recognise the importance of waves as a cultural, social, economic and environmental asset to coastal communities. If we succeed, then our waves will get protection.
So what you waiting for, SIGN THE PETITION. It only takes a few seconds, promise!

Why protect our waves?
Britain’s best loved surfing waves are under threat from corrosive coastline activities.
Coastal developments, pollution, and restricted access – are just some of the threats that can have long-term devastating effects on some of our treasured surfing beaches.
How can we protect our waves?
There are various ways to help protect our cherished waves, beaches and coastline.
The first step is to get the government to recognise that it needs protecting. With the government onboard, waves can get protection in different ways including:
• Surfing reserves – World Surfing Reserves already exist at Manly, Malibu, Santa Cruz and Ericeira.
• Increase public awareness – it’s not just the government we need to convince, the public need to understand why we should protect our waves as well.
• Surfers become stakeholders – surfers should get involved and have a voice in decision making. For example, a seat at regional planning partnerships.
• Laws to protect our waves – with laws in place, companies and councils will be forced to consider the impact of developments on waves.
