ISAP wants to give a stronger voice to local surfing communities right across Ireland to make their views and opinions heard loud and clear in order to resolve issues faced at surfspots primarily. We also intend to inform the Irish surfing community and the general public about environmental issues existing locally and globally.Educating the futur generation is the key to make the changes that are so much needed as too often our modern society disregard shamelessly the fundamental right to a clean environment in the name of profit and lazyness. It's everyone responsability to make Ireland's coastline a cleaner place to live in and enjoy. For that matter, we organise beach and coastal clean ups as often as possible, thanks to the support of our volunteers, member and sponsors, local authorities and An Taisce. ISAP is also a Coast Care group supported by Clean Coast Ireland and An Taisce.

sewerage systems and overflows
Sewerage refers to the infrastructure that conveys sewage. Design and sizing of sewage collection systems considers population served, commercial and industrial flows, flow peaking characteristics and wet weather flows. Combined sewer systems are designed to transport both stormwater runoff and sewage in the same pipe. Often, combined sewers can not handle the volume of runoff, resulting in combined sewer overflows and causing water pollution problems in nearby water bodies.
