@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!

[Clean Harbours Partnership @CleanHarbours]

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

Three major water companies illegally discharged sewage hundreds of times last year on days when it was not raining, according to a BBC investigation.

Environment correspondent Jonah Fisher had more details on #BBCBreakfast

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! https://t.co/OBySozzxdv

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. https://t.co/idIfsODDAc

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'

[Clean Harbours Partnership @CleanHarbours]

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”. https://t.co/MFAuiWi1dc #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?

[Clean Harbours Partnership @CleanHarbours]

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
