Exclusive: Hundreds of potentially toxic road runoff outfalls polluting rivers A toxic cocktail of chemicals created by road pollution is flowing into rivers from 25,000+ outfalls & soakaways. No regulator is monitoring the impact on wildlife or health theguardian.com/environment/20…

Tonight on @BBCSouthToday @BBCSouthNews hundreds of thousands of litres of untreated wastewater and sewerage pouring in to the Beaulieu River (again) . It’s the @NewForestNPA and one of the most environmentally protected rivers in the UK and it’s full of . . .

@Feargal_Sharkey @BBCBreakfast Excellent interview this morning @Feargal_Sharkey, we were also pleased to be part of the water quality special on @BBCBreakfast. Some fantastic pieces that really brought the issues home - well done all. A great view from the Marine Lab roof too, @portsmouthuni!

On @BBCBreakfast in 5… 4… 3… 2…

So great to be involved with this reporting, and to see momentum growing. Thanks @BBCBreakfast for shining a light on this issue!

50+ chemicals discovered in water off Hampshire and West Sussex coasts. Great to see results from @portsmouthuni & @Bruneluni coming in from the samples we took last year. Thanks @DrAlexFord & @The_ShrimpGuy for all your hard work so far! port.ac.uk/news-events-an… @Feargal_Sharkey

The result of all this hard work by teams from @portsmouthuni @Bruneluni and many dedicated volunteers from @CleanHarbours is released today.

Take away the law that allows public access to water company data and you won't see shocking revelations like these again. Please sign and share this petition to save it. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6336… @Feargal_Sharkey @sascampaigns @RiverActionUK bbc.co.uk/news/uk-600401…

'Thérèse Coffey, the environment secretary, has told England’s ten wastewater companies that they must issue a “clear plan” for reducing spills from all their storm overflows.' thetimes.co.uk/article/firms-… #sewage #waterquality

Great article in @thetimes over the weekend as part of their new Clean It Up campaign. @SOSWhitstable @wasp thetimes.co.uk/article/f43a59… #Sewage #waterquality

Where do we work? We focus on pollution Langstone and Chichester, extending over 15,000 acres around Hayling Island on the south coast. Waterside villages include Bosham, Emsworth, Itchenor, Dell Quay, Hayling and West Wittering. #waterquality #waterpollution #sewage

We want to understand the risks and bring polluters to account. A study under the guidance of @DrAlexFord at @portsmouthuni; Dr Thomas Miller @Bruneluni; and Prof Peter Hammond @watervole3 from @WindrushWasp will shed light on 'What's really in the water' #waterpollution #sewage

Why are we concerned about what is in our harbour water? Initial investigations uncovered some worrying facts... #waterquality #sewage #waterpollution #cleanharbourspartnership

Our latest newsletter is out now. Find out about our latest results and progress, from investigating levels of bacteria to testing for chemicals in our local harbour waters. cleanharbourspartnership.co.uk/2023/02/04/chp… #waterquality #waterpollution #sewage

Who is involved in CHP? We are supported by a range of interest groups who care about our harbour environment. Thank you to all the clubs, individuals and businesses who are passionate about protecting our precious harbours. #waterquality #sewage #waterpollution

CHP is a collaboration of local interest groups, formed in response to local outcry and concern about pollution in Chichester & Langstone Harbours. We are scientifically investigating “what’s in our harbour water”. cleanharbourspartnership.co.uk #sewage #waterquality

@GreedSpam @SouthernWater @Feargal_Sharkey @GillianKeegan @ChiefScienEA @Chiobserver @Sussex_World @Karen_Dunn Has it just been broken into smaller chunks so it looks less like one huge release?

We were sent these pics of raw sewage overflowing from a manhole cover in Bosham (16th January). Spot the loo roll and a tampon escaped from the drain. Almost impossible for the families, dogs and walkers using the harbour to avoid. #sewage #sewagepollution #waterquality
