The Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) has formed 9 Catchment Stakeholder Groups which provide a forum for anyone interested in local water issues to identify their concerns to both Statutory Agencies and Non-Governmental Organisations and have these addressed at a local level.

The Catchment Stakeholder Group meetings are attended by representatives from Government Departments/ Agencies, angling groups, NGOs, landowners, and members of the public, who work together to; address key local water management issues, influence decisions and assist in the implementation of solutions.
