Paddle protest

Protest takes to the water

Members of Surfers Against Sewage gathered at Hill Head Beach to protest against sewage pollution affecting local waters and marine life.

Demonstrators carried banners, collected litter, and called for stronger action from water companies and the government to prevent untreated sewage discharges into the sea.

The protest highlighted concerns about public health, declining water quality, and environmental damage impacting swimmers, surfers, and wildlife along the coast.

Organisers urged communities to support cleaner waterways through awareness campaigns, policy changes, and investment in sustainable infrastructure, stressing the importance of protecting beaches for future generations and preserving fragile marine ecosystems.

The event, organised by Surfers Against Sewage (SAS), is part of a national day of action.
