We're excited to lead the new CLEAR-Neagh project, a collaborative effort to support the restoration of Lough Neagh in Northern Ireland, one of the UK’s most important #freshwater systems 💧🧪
📢An exciting £920,000 research project kicks off next month to help restore one of Northern Ireland’s most threatened lakes — Lough Neagh.
Congratulations to the @ukceh.bsky.social team who will use state of the art technology to generate evidence to tackle its pollution @ukceh-moleco.bsky.social
