AWARD WINNING WELSH FILM DUO JOIN FORCES
Surf instructor & film maker Anne Gallagher joins Undercurrents news agency co-founder Helen iles.The duo go on a 12 month journey to challenge the surf industry to be more eco-friendly.

Why?
Rising sea levels because of global warming could lead to a loss of waves at low tides, oceans may become more acidic, choking the life out of our ‘playgrounds’ and making it a lonely place to surf or sail. And the prospect of a reprieve for nuclear power could result in more localised pollution from radioactive discharges and signs posted from environmental agencies saying not to use the water for recreation. There is much to be concerned about but there are solutions.

Who is active?
SAS has embraced offshore renewable energy technology and is campaigning for it’s use in strategic areas of the UK to help meet our renewable energy targets set down by the Kyoto protocol and because it can offer a long term solution to meet our energy needs and protect the water we use for recreation.
