Multiple sports advocate for clean water
More sports are joining the call for clean water in the UK, with the Clean Water Sports Alliance (CWSA) leading the charge. The Alliance, made up of national governing bodies like the Angling Trust, British Rowing, and Royal yachting Association, is advocating for improved water quality in the country by 2030. They aim to provide real-time information to water users for safer participation in water sports and activities.
Recently, Surfing England, British Kitesports, British Sub-Aqua Club, and the British Dragon Boat Racing Association joined the Alliance, expanding its reach and impact. The Alliance has also collaborated with major water companies to address issues like water testing and pollution.
While welcoming recent government initiatives to improve water quality, the Alliance stresses the need for continued action and reform. Members of the Alliance emphasize the importance of clean water for recreational water sports, international success, and marine ecosystem health.
Overall, the Alliance is actively engaging with policymakers and regulators to ensure a safe and clean environment for all water enthusiasts in the UK. Join the movement and help protect our blue spaces for future generations.
