About this event

Intelligent Activism & Surfing as a Catalyst with Chris Hines - Surf Pioneers Spring Lecture Series

Join Chris Hines, Co-Founder and former Director of Surfers Against Sewage, as he explores the origins and campaigning of the marine conservation charity from 1990 through to 2000. Chris will reveal how SAS helped deliver a £5.5 billion clean up, reflect on where surfing sits 35 years on and present the dilemmas that we all face in relation to the planet and the population.

Chris has been working and campaigning for the environment for over 30 years and revels in inspiring positive change. Chris was awarded an MBE for “services to the environment” and an Honorary Doctorate of Science from the University of Plymouth. He now aims to deliver positive change by working with clients with a shared vision, including sitting on the BBC’s Sustainability Advisory Group and has recently given presentations to a wide range of organisations from Accenture to Comic Relief and Pfizer to the RSPCA…and he still gets plenty of surfing in.
