Surfers and Paddle boarders in Scarborough are set to stage a protest today.
It's over the amount of sewage pollution that is in the South Bay and will take place at 2pm this afternoon.
It's a part of a national event that's happening across the UK to protest about the quality of our water.
Steven Crawford is the organiser and he says that he's been unable to work due to the red flag on the beach.
There are 18 protests being held this weekend, from Portobello Beach in Edinburgh to Gyllyngvase Beach in Falmouth.
Steven Crawford says that the number of pollution incidents around the UK coastline is at an alarmingly high level.
Water companies have said that they will do more going forward and are to invest £10 billion to prevent sewage spills. England's water and sewage companies have apologised for not "acting quickly enough" to stop the spills.
