Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) is one of the UK's leading marine conservation and campaigning charities. Our mission is simple: to Create Ocean Activists Everywhere. Our projects and campaigns inspire, unite and empower individuals and communities to take action to protect our ocean, beaches, waves and wildlife. Our vision, Thriving Ocean, Thriving People, is about connecting all humans to the ocean and creating communities of people who want to make real change happen. We support and empower people to campaign together as the authentic voice of the ocean.

The organisation was founded in 1990 and became a charity in 2013. The charity is made up of a board of 11 trustees, an executive team of 21, 200+ Regional Reps and over 100,000 active volunteers around the UK. The charity also founded and runs the only marine conservation All Party Parliamentary Group in Westminster – the Ocean Conservation APPG, bringing together a collaborative voice for ocean in Westminster.

The charity has recently confirmed the Patronage of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and 2020 sees the start of the new decade and an opportunity for the charity to reflect on a 30 year legacy of high-impact environmental campaigning, and look forward to further establish itself as one of the most authentic and trusted voices in marine conservation. The year marks the start of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development, and the UN Decade of Ecosystem Restoration which provides us with a powerful external frame to continue to develop and deliver our campaigns. In 2020, we will begin a decade devoted to the ocean, redoubling our efforts to mobilise volunteers, collect citizen science, influence legislation and diversify our campaign efforts. We will develop clear goals and a roadmap of campaigns to protect the ocean.

The latest annual report and accounts can be accessed through the Charity Commission.

Community and Values

The ever-growing SAS community believes in staying connected with the ocean. To strengthen this bond, we live by four core values, which matter deep down, to us all.

• Open: Together, we’re passionate, down to earth campaigners, born out of the community, with a deep unrelenting love of the ocean. We believe in building diverse, inclusive and active communities.
• Dynamic: We are dynamic, radical, active, energetic doers and campaigners. From the beaches to the front benches, we bring people together, empowering them to get stuck in and make real change happen.
• Authentic: We are human, doing our best. When we don’t get things right, we learn from it. We believe in authenticity. You can’t fake trust. We are deeply connected to and motivated by the ocean.
• Creative: We are creative and entrepreneurial. We move fast, think far and believe the future is bright. From our humble home, we make waves (of all shapes and sizes) to improve our greatest gift. A healthy ocean = a healthy society.
