New Campaign Launched! Visit Guernsey (the official tourist body that promotes the island) has recently launched a massive advertising campaign showcasing the island as ‘The Island Of Choice’. SAS would agree that it is an ‘Island of Choice’ for scenic countryside, beautiful marinas and great food but would you really choose it for recreational water sport right now? It wouldn’t be our choice when Guernsey is still pumping and dumping more than 65,000 people’s raw sewage into the sea each day! We can’t help thinking this promotion comes on the back of our high profile campaigning on the island in recent months and to put this in perspective we are asking you, our fantastic supporters, for more help. Our ‘Wish You Were Clear’ campaign starts with a campaign postcard enclosed with this issue of Pipeline. It asks you to boycott visiting the island until a full sewage treatment policy is in place. We would like you to send this to Visit Guernsey. In taking part in this tourist boycott we ask that you choose to holiday elsewhere until they treat their sewage safely and responsibly. May we recommend Jersey - with it’s full sewage treatment programme providing clean and safe water it is a haven for tourists and watersports enthusiasts!

It now looks like the report, which is still to be finished, will not be published until the beginning of summer, well into the 2005 PARTICLE FOUND bathing season. This campaign should keep up the pressure on Government officials to do the right thing! We will not be satisfied unless the States of Guernsey recommend full treatment for the island’s sewage.
