Paddle Out for Change! 🌊

This weekend, thousands of surfers, swimmers, and ocean lovers are taking to the water in a nationwide paddle-out protest against the sewage pollution crisis. 💩🚫

Spearheaded by Surfers Against Sewage the protests will take place at over 40 locations across the UK on 17th May, demanding urgent action from water companies and the government to stop sewage spills and protect our blue spaces.

In Devon, events are happening at Exmouth and Croyde, with CAG Devon network members involved in the organisation of both! Shout out to Earth Action North Devon and Transition Exmouth.🌍💙

Find the details for both events below and get involved! 👇

🚨 Last year alone, sewage was discharged into UK waters more than once a minute on average - a shocking reality that threatens public health and marine ecosystems. Enough is enough!

Let’s make waves for change. Stand up. Speak out. Paddle out. 🏄‍♂️🌊
