Seven water-based sports bodies have set up an alliance to campaign for clean open water.
National sports governing bodies have joined forces to call for an end to “death-knell” pollution and sewage discharges threatening water sports across the UK.
“Polluted water is a death knell for British sport. Clean water needs to move from being considered a ‘nice to have’ to a literal ‘we can’t live without’. Without clean water, we do not exist.” As part of its announcement on Tuesday, the alliance said it will campaign for further and faster action on pollution to improve UK waters by 2030.
Elsewhere, “bathing waters” should be changed to “recreation waters” within Government policy in order to recognise the wide range of activities that depend on clean water, the alliance said.
