Welcome to our February MiniPod - a monthly update where we're joined by an expert guest & we react to current events in water, climate and nature - all in about 15 minutes.

In this episode we're joined by Dr Vera Jones,  Technical Director and Global Technical Authority for Water Quality at AtkinsRéalis, and we explore...

1. How pet owners might be having an unexpectedly negative impact on the health of aquatic life in our rivers and estuaries.
2. New research that makes the link between human driven climate change and the impact on nutrient cycles in our oceans.
3. Innovations that are helping to enhance what we know about UK bathing water quality and keep water users better informed about the health of the water in real-time.

Our 2024 Season of Planet Possible is supported by Atkins Realis.
