The report was commissioned after blue-green algae bloomed at unprecedented levels last year.
A new report says significant investment is needed to tackle the environmental issues facing Lough Neagh, BBC News NI understands.
But money will need to be found for others, such as an initiative to research potential solutions, additional water quality Inspectors and a centralised resource for science around Lough Neagh. A smaller number, mostly concerning enforcement and regulation, are expected to involve the infrastructure and justice departments.
The Lough Neagh Report is expected to put in place short, medium and long-term actions to tackle the problems that have developed over years.
