Taking Action on Water Pollution
As members found out when Christchurch Harbour & Marine Society came to our monthly meeting, water quality issues prevail along our coast, the harbour and the two rivers.
So, what can you do?
Join Surfers Against Sewage Campaigns
Surfers Against Sewage have several campaigns:
I'm Not a Bather, which includes an open letter to the Government.
If you are part of an organisation that uses our waters, consider asking them to sign (Closes 15th May 2026).
Watch Dirty Business, then ask your MP to.
Sign their petition to end the sewage pollution scandal.
Add your name to demand clean, safe water – before more people pay with their health.
Petition to End Privatisation
Watch Feargal Sharkey talk about the failure of privatisation and sign a petition to hold a referendum to bring the water industry into public ownership.
