NIMTF are more than happy to be part of this new campaign to ensure action from our political leaders to step up and address the mounting impacts of water quality across our waterways.
We know the problems. We have the solutions. So what's stopping us from acting to resolve? 🤔
New campaign launching today!
We’re calling on political leaders to step up & take urgent action to address NI’s escalating water-quality crisis.
Stay tuned throughout the day for updates on our launch event!

I first reported in October 2024 how decades of sewage underfunding means pollution flows into Belfast Lough ‘every time it rains’. Read the latest on the issue here 👇

🧵Today, @OfficeforEP are carrying out an investigation into the regulation of #sewagepollution entering #belfastlough, involving @deptinfra, @daera_ni and the Utility Regulator NIEA.
NIMTF welcomes the investigation which highlights that we need stronger action from a (1/2)
source-to-sea approach to urgently tackle pollution and reduce the pressures.
NIMTF will focus on ensuring that #northernireland has healthy, productive and resilient #seas as seen within our "Achieving Ocean Recovery" Trailer by @swimming_head (2/2)
