Our work in the marine environment
North Wales' sea is special in many ways...
With a few hundred kilometres of coastline stretching from the Dee Estuary to Aberdyfi, the sea around North Wales is special in many ways and is home to lots of weird and wonderful wildlife.
But Welsh seas are in trouble! Much of our marine species are in decline and there is a continual increase of litter entering our seas, there is a threat of unsustainable infrastructure development and on top of all of this we now see the growing effects of global climate change.
How we are working to protect the marine environment
As natural champions for coastal and marine wildlife we are working towards our vision of Living Seas. Living Seas is our vision for marine conservation in North Wales where wildlife thrives, from the depths to the coastal shallows.
From seagrass restoration to monitoring rocky shores we work with partner organisations, businesses, communties and individuals to support nature's recovery in the marine environment. Find out more about our projects and how you can get involved below.
