A summer of blue-green algae caused havoc, with bathing bans and pondweed adding to a complicated mix.
The algae compounded the woes of rescue volunteers who were already worried about safe access due to silt building up.And the lough is showing signs of the effects of climate change, with water temperature now more than a degree higher than in 1995.The Shaftesbury estate owns the lough bed and the soil, the banks, the rights to sand extraction and shooting licences for wildfowl.
They plan to hold a wake for the lough on 17 September to call for cohesive management and protection of it.They are advising farmers through the Soil Nutrient Health Scheme, which aims to enable those in the agriculture industry to apply fertiliser strategically, reducing run-off and the resulting pollution.
