Save Our Irish Waters
Lough Derg 📸 by LudramanThere's no protecting a waterway on our own. The great and winding rivers of Ireland if laid out in a straight line would circle the Earth twice over.
What’s Happening?
Here is just a sample of links to stories around the country. We know there are hundreds, maybe thousands of people across Ireland working for safe water and to protect our living systems. This is just a start.
Protecting Our Irish Waters is about working together locally and nationally to keep our waters healthy for ourselves and for biodiversity.
Save the Boyne always sought to be an example for other communities that it IS possible to protect our waterways.
Save Our Irish Waters seeks to be one of many voices working together to save, heal and protect our waters for future generations.
❋ The Shannon Our longest river, the Shannon, source to sea, is 13 catchments long with an incredible diversity of needs. How can we take a better view of the Shannon holistically?
Let’s be ambitious for a plan to establish a real record of the majestic Shannon’s condition
(If 14 countries can come together to understand the Danube, surely Ireland can do the same for a far shorter river?)
