Departments accused of buck-passing task of dredging silt and clearing poisonous algae from the lough.
The search and rescue agency also raised concerns about access to areas of the Lough due to blocked waterways which they say need to be dredged - in particular, access to the River Blackwater.
Rescuers are forced to slow "to a snail's pace" when navigating those areas, said Mr Lappin, adding that nobody was taking ownership or responsibility for Lough Neagh. Ownership of and responsibility for Lough Neagh is the responsibility of no single department or group.Mr Lappin wants to see a multi-agency response to his concerns.
Lough Neagh Partnership, a stakeholder body representing fishermen, Lough Neagh Rescue and other groups, says it has been lobbying Armagh Banbridge and Craigavon and Mid Ulster Council along with the Department for Infrastructure for the past two years to get the mouth of the Blackwater River dredged.
"An integrated interdepartmental structure is urgently needed for the Lough to address environmental and safety needs."In a statement it said that, as the drainage authority for Northern Ireland, it had responsibility for maintaining the capacity of designated watercourses to allow for the free flow of water for drainage and flood prevention purposes.
