🙌 A MILLION MILES CLEANER 🙌

A huge THANK YOU 👏 to you! Our amazing community who have been out cleaning the UK’s beaches, riverbanks, mountain tracks and city streets. You’ve helped us smash through the MILLIONTH MILE cleaned by Ocean Activists this year! Not only is the UK a million miles cleaner but your tireless efforts have also highlighted the scourge of plastic pollution and held the big polluters to account 🙌. Epic.

We are so stoked to reach this milestone with you. Read on for more ways you can take action for the ocean with SAS.

Join in the Global Day of Action

As part of the COP26 Coalition, we are joining protests across the country on Saturday 6th November calling for climate justice. The ocean needs to be front and centre of climate action. Grab your placards and meet us on the streets! 🌊 ✊

A Manifesto for the future

This summer, youth advocates held a landmark summit with SAS to discuss the most pressing threats facing the ocean and climate. 🌍

The result? A Manifesto from the younger generation outlining six clear actions our leaders must take, if we are to have a future.⠀
