Lough Neagh (the Anglicized version of the Irish name, Loch nEachach, pronounced “lock nay,”) is the largest lake in the United Kingdom, an important resource for drinking water and the local fishing and farming economies. But it’s in trouble. Raw sewage and agricultural runoff have harmed the lake, including cyanobacteria algae blooms so bad they could be seen from space. Spurred by the crisis, a coalition of Earth law experts (principally Lawyers for Nature, Earth Law Center, Queen’s University Belfast School of Law, and a corporate law advisor from Pillsbury) have outlined several options for the community, including transfer pathways that would result in the lough’s self ownership.
