Northern Ireland has 26 identified bathing waters which must meet stringent water quality standards set under The Quality of Bathing Water Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2008. Officials are currently preparing for a full review of Bathing Waters in 2022/23 including this public consultation which will not only look at the identification of new Bathing Waters but will also consider extending the length of the bathing season.

Responses are invited to any aspect of the consultation by 8 April 2022.
