Published: 6/25/2025

River pollution from excess nutrients in Wales is suffocating the marine environment, according to campaigners. Natural Resources Wales reports reveal that nutrient pollution from farming and sewage is smothering the seabed and affecting protected areas along the coast. Campaigners urge urgent action to address river pollution and restore marine habitats like seagrass, with public support for government intervention to combat pollution sources.
