None of the government officials have come forward to see this immense issue causing distress to the lake and human life. Peter Harper who is the shoreline environment officer with the Lough Neagh Partnership shows great concern for this matter.

“We don’t have an environment minister, we don’t have anyone to come out and see what’s happening,” says Peter Harper.

The harmful cyanobacteria thrive when there are too many nutrients in the water, particularly nitrates and phosphates from farming and sewage. This leads to a strong and unpleasant odor.

People who have fished in these waters are concerned about the lake situation as they consider it a national treasure of the United Kingdom.
