Save our South Coast Alliance - fighting to save our vital coastal and wetland environments under threat from climate change and development

@DracoRuddy @EYakoby Think you’re misreading the article! It is recommending reversing the trend by 2020 in order to stop sea level rise wiping out low lying areas in the future. It was never a hoax and the consequences of climate change are already being felt across the globe.

[Convention on Wetlands @RamsarConv]

Wetlands are some of the most productive engines of the planet’s biodiversity.

Protecting wetlands means protecting life and their survival is directly linked to the future of our planet’s biodiversity.

Researchers have found more than 100 unique chemical pollutants in Chichester and Langstone harbours.
An analysis of seawater, seaweed and shellfish found chemical pollutants surged more than 100-fold after sewage discharges https://t.co/xBS1NkKyok

@brightonsnapper Lack of sewage capacity has been an issue here for years but every time there’s an application for another 100+ homes @SouthernWater says it has capacity. So why are Tankers regularly used whenever it rains (even before the main pipe failed) @ChichesterDC @AngelaRayner

Manhood Peninsula full of sewage tankers as burst pipe in Almodington pushes strained mains sewage system to breaking point. Tankers are having to empty pumping stations in Birdham, Brackleshsm and the Witterings https://t.co/8g1E6VvD2O

Local authorities and local communities are best placed to know what developments are needed in their area, not central government or large developers. @JessBrownFuller @LGAcomms @LibDems https://t.co/1QMJ2ItIGX

This ruling demonstrates that planning authorities should sequential test all sites at future flood risk and government must reassess housing numbers allocated to low lying coastal areas with high BMV land @ChichesterDC @DefraGovUK @AngelaRayner https://t.co/vsFbuX7RxZ

Here is a link to a talk on Southern Water's plans for effluent recycling. [https://t.co/ySjvK7m3SH](https://t.co/ySjvK7m3SH) The deadline to respond to the consultation is 4th December. Please share widely.

The Sun says a stunning 4 m sculpture of a periwinkle at Medmerry looks like a giant poo. Locals don’t care if it brings national attention to their amazing environment and its issues with poo! The irony is the sculpture was part funded by Southern Water! https://t.co/MEDidbOnkn

Why is a country with a high rainfall & flooding not collecting more rainfall and preventing leaks and fresh water wastage rather than spending billions on energy and capital intensive schemes that will result in us all consuming more forever chemicals? https://t.co/aPmSVFGHJJ

[SOSCA 🍃💚🍃 @SOSCAlliance]

Why is Southern Water spending £1.2 billion on a prototype energy intensive scheme to recycle effluent to use as drinking water instead of fixing leaky pipes and collecting more rain water? @guardianeco @BBCSouthNews @Feargal_Sharkey

Tens of thousands of people came from rivers & seas across the country to march through London in the biggest water demonstration in UK history. It was so large that people were still leaving the Albert Embankment as the procession entered Parliament Square.

All those marching on the @MarchforWater had a simple message: we need real action for clean water & we need it now.
