Surfers for Climate

A natural disaster is unfolding

South Australia’s coastline is experiencing a crisis in slow-motion. A massive algal bloom has choked the ocean, silenced surf breaks, and left fishing boats tied to the dock. We travelled to the hardest-hit areas, meeting those living on the shoreline of this crisis. Watch our short film Sea Sick to hear from locals about their horrendous experiences

Let's Give the Bight World Heritage Status

There’s an opportunity right now to make the Nullabor and Great Australian Bight a UNESCO World Heritage Area, but it isn’t going to happen without the Australian surfing community rising to the occasion one last time.

It is the Final Fight for the Bight to get this majestic and richly biodiverse area of Australia locked in with World Heritage status.

This isn’t just another campaign, it’s the final round in a fight to keep the Bight wild and free from big oil, forever.
