  • DAERA launches new Dashboard to track Bathing Water Quality across NI

    Topics:
    • Bathing Water Quality

    Date published: 10 July 2025

    A new interactive Bathing Water Quality Dashboard to help the public make informed decisions about where and when to swim across Northern Ireland’s 33 designated bathing sites was launched today by DAERA Minister Andrew Muir.

    The dashboard features an interactive map, search and filter tools, weekly sampling results, and links to detailed Bathing Water Profiles. It also includes a clear notice to explain that data is not real-time, ensuring users understand the context of the information provided.

    Minister Muir said: “The new dashboard reflects our commitment to public health and environmental transparency. It gives communities the tools they need to enjoy our bathing waters safely and confidently.”

    The dashboard is available from the DAERA website.
