Save Our Shoreline Jersey (SOSJ) have worked tirelessly for over 26 years to highlight bad environmental practice and works to protect our shoreline from pollution and bad planning issues. Now we have come ‘inland’ as development has eaten up large areas of what was precious foreshore and financial interests override sensible environmental decisions.
Our beautiful island is still largely unspoiled, but successive administrations have paid scant regard to the environment and have endorsed the disposal of toxic waste into landfill.
We have amazing coastal scenery and intertidal areas – our splendid south east coast and offshore reefs have been designated Ramsar Areas (Wetland Sites of International Importance).
On this website, you will find current and archived reports, articles, news and details of our campaigns, past and present. If you would like to donate, sponsor or help in other ways, please check our Ways to Help page.
It is a shame that we have to have an SOS Jersey, but left alone our Government would continue to be reactive rather than proactive in the areas we work in. We are the only real Scrutiny organisation that exists in an administration which has no independent watchdog. Even the Ramsar Bureau in Switzerland have given up on Jersey!
Our aim is that Save Our Shoreline Jersey becomes redundant and we are able to be re-named as Savour Our Shoreline Jersey.
