Last year, water companies pumped raw, untreated sewage into UK waters for over 2.6 MILLION hours – saturating our rivers, lakes, and coast with toxic human waste. All with little to no consequences. But enough is enough. The chemicals, bacteria and viruses in sewage are crippling delicate ecosystems, destroying habitats, and making people seriously ill. We need to end to sewage pollution, and help protect the ocean from all that threatens it.

We’re demanding change from water companies, regulators and the government, and helping everyone fight for the ocean. New citizen science programmes will provide trustworthy data on the state of UK rivers and seas, to expose what’s really going on. We’re expanding our free pollution alert app, which keeps people safe by sharing real-time pollution warnings for their local swim spots. And our campaign to designate more rivers as official Bathing Waters will introduce vital water testing.
