The worst decline in water quality in Ireland is in estuaries and coastal waters along the southeast and southern coasts including Cork Harbour.

A new report from the Environmental Protection Agency shows about half of Ireland's open water bodies are in a 'satisfactory' condition.

EPA says the main reason for poor standards is agriculture according to Programme Manager, Mary Gurrie.
