Lough Neagh’s recovery from toxic algae blooms faces years of effort due to pollution, climate change, and lack of environmental oversight.
Lough Neagh’s recovery will take years or decades due to recurring blue-green algae blooms for three consecutive summers, disrupting fishing and prompting bathing advisories.
Environment Minister Andrew Muir reported 14 of 37 recovery actions completed, 22 underway, and one pending.
He emphasized long-term efforts needed in research, monitoring, regulation, and infrastructure, citing sewage pollution, wastewater upgrades, and climate change as key challenges.
He called for cross-ministerial cooperation, a just transition fund for farmers, and progress on the Nutrients Action Programme, noting Northern Ireland remains the only UK and Ireland region without an independent environmental agency.
