What to do about a Dirty Barrel

Check out this barrel. Would you be pleased to be in it?

Some people would say that a barrel's a barrel, but many others would agree with Surfers Against Sewage that this sort of pollution in our seas isn't acceptable.

As Andy Cummins, SAS's Campaigns Director, says: "The 11.6 million surfers, waveriders and water users in the UK are potentially great guardians for the UK’s waves and beaches.  We are all literally immersing ourselves in the environment we love so much, so we are the first affected by pollution incidents."

The good news, if you agree with Andy (and you should do), is that SAS has just made it easier to report pollution incidents. There's now a Guide to Reporting Pollution Incidents on the SAS site. Check it out and remember it next time you encounter filth on our coastline.
