Campaigners, citizen scientists and water quality experts came together in Manchester to talk about all things bathing waters.

Hear from communities who have already applied on the nitty-gritty of the application. They talk about how they got local authorities and landowners onboard, how they use data, and what happens after you achieve bathing water status.
