Eco ChamberShow Notes
On this week’s ECO Chamber, special guest Jo Morley – the head of campaigns and advocacy at Surfers Against Sewage – joins podcast host James Agyepong-Parsons and ENDS Report’s senior reporter, Shosha Adie, to discuss the new docuseries on sewage pollution.

The team also discusses why campaigners River Action applied for a judicial review against watchdog Natural Resources Wales’ decision to approve the expansion of three intensive poultry units in Powys.
Plus, the UK’s biggest onshore wind farm in a decade has moved one step closer to creation, Scotland’s largest salmon farm has been given the green light in a protected nature area, and the hundreds of seabirds have washed up on England’s coastlines.
