Summer solstice, our longest days and shortest nights are upon us. A great opportunity to connect with the natural world and experience the joys of midsummer. #summersolstice

EPA data shows there has been no overall improvement in water quality & reasons why. Good news is data also shows where worst-affected areas are situated. We need to follow the science, devise robust evidence-based targeted policy & urgently help fix declines by properly resourcing solutions.
