Surfers Against Sewage, “Protect Our Waves”

The UK-based group Surfers Against Sewage has launched a new campaign called Protect Our Waves. It is meant to raise awareness about the environmental hardships faced by surf spots on that side of the Atlantic. Here’s a further description:

The campaign aims to protect surf spots from unacceptable levels of environmental impact, degradation of surfing wave quality and to advance recreational water users right of access.

British surfing waves are under threat from a growing number of activities around our coastline that could destroy or have long-term devastating impact on some of our most prized surfing beaches. This includes coastal developments, pollution, and restricted access.

To promote their efforts, the group hired photographer Spencer Murphy to create an evocative series of images to dramatize the surf spots’ plight. Click here to see several of his images, and here to learn more about the campaign from the Surfers Against Sewage website.
