Hell Or High Water Ep.40: Don't Discount Our Ocean

Giles and Chad are lifelong watermen with personal and professional skin in the game of preserving our ocean. Jointly they’ve spent over 60 years at the vanguard of environmental activism and are acutely aware that although separated by over 5000 miles of ocean and earth, the problems faced by their respective communities are one.

A new drilling platform sunk into the seabed of California - as proposed by Trump’s executive order to boost oil and gas production in federal lands and waters - means more environmental pollution, carbon and virgin plastics for us all.

For both organisations the struggle for a cleaner ocean environment begins at a local level and scales up to national and international lobbying – Surfrider Foundation has 250 chapters in the US, while SAS has 8000 members and counts on over 100,000 volunteers for actions across the UK annually. As UN directives states, there is “One planet, one ocean”, and by recognising this interconnectivity we also recognise the need for a holistic approach to management and protection.

So, without further ado get stuck into our Blue Friday Hell or High Water.

And remember, choose donations over discounts this Blue Friday, between November 25th and December 2nd, and help protect and preserve our ocean.
