Surfers Against Sewage believe that climate change poses a major
threat to recreational water users, the marine environment and
the global environment as a whole, and agrees that action needs
to be taken to combat it. SAS supports the advancement of
renewable energy sources, but will examine each new development
on a case-by case basis in order to assess any potential
negative impacts on coastal environments, surfing resources and
recreation. Surfers Against Sewage is fully in favour of
renewable energy sources, including offshore renewables. Just as
we can tap off a small amount of wave energy to push us along on
our boards, we can also extract energy from the winds, tide and
waves and re-direct it to generate energy. However, a priority
must always be that renewable energy projects are installed
without degrading natural surfing wave resources. SAS has
produced a comprehensive guide aimed at developers of offshore
renewables (DOWNLOAD). The first document promotes the surfing
community as an important stake
