About

When I sat down to research this video, I was shocked at just how bad the water quality situation is in the UK. If you surf her shores regularly, you’ll know that after it rains (and even when it doesn’t), there’s a huge chance you’ll be paddling out into raw sewage. This shouldn’t be happening. This video explores the extent of the water quality issues currently plaguing UK coastlines.
