In early October SAS lobbied all of the UK’s MPs, urgently calling on their support for a strong Climate Change Law. This action was to counter the UK Government who were actively lobbying to weaken the EU Renewables Directive at the time.

On September 30, a professional dive and engineering crew began the removal process of the artificial surfing reef off the coast of El Segundo, CA. Built in 2000, the artificial reef was built as mitigation for lost surfing resources when Chevron constructed a groin at the El Segundo Refinery, and surfing at Grand Avenue was adversely impacted; a determination made by the California Coastal Commission. The experimental reef was permitted for a 10-year period ending in 2010.
