“A whole range of sectors potentially
need to take action that will together contribute to the improvement of
the environment generally and the cleanliness of our rivers and coastal
bathing waters in particular.”
“So we propose to publish a Bathing
Water Strategy which promotes coordinated action to supplement our major
programme of investment in wastewater treatment with action to tackle diffuse
agricultural pollution, industrial run off, nitrate vulnerable zones and
climactic conditions.”
“The strategy will demonstrate the
Executive’s commitment to carrying out our pledge to improve bathing waters.
By ensuring the good quality of our bathing waters we will not only improve
the environment but also protect public health, promote recreation and
our tourism industry,” said Mr Wilson.
