Surfers for Climate

IT’S TIME TO DRAW A LINE IN THE SAND FOR OUR OCEAN

In March 2024 the NSW Parliament unanimously passed amendments to legislation that will ban all offshore oil and gas in NSW waters for good!

We are stoked! After years of campaigning to draw a Line in the Sand and ban all new offshore oil and gas in Australia’s pristine ocean, this legislation proves the power of state governments to act on the big issues that impact all of us.

What we want now is for other states and territories to pay attention to what NSW has achieved and follow its lead.

LAUNCHING IN QLD AUG-OCT 2024

We're on a mission to turn the tide on eco-anxiety & create the next generation of ocean leaders.

Two-thirds of young Australians (67%) say climate concerns are having a negative impact on youth mental health.

Surfers for Climate aims to address this by providing free expert-led workshops to high schools, TAFEs and universities.
