Sensational Welsh Seas
Lying where warm southern waters meet cold nutrient rich currents from the north, Welsh seas are special in many ways. Hidden beneath the waves are landscapes every bit as varied as those found above water - with undersea cliffs, exposed offshore reefs, calm sheltered inlets, and dangerous tidal rapids. These create an extraordinary range of habitats, supporting a breathtaking variety of wildlife.
Did you know that the world second largest fish the majestic basking shark or the largest marine turtle in the world can be found in Welsh waters? Have you ever seen a nesting puffin or a pod of playful dolphins? Our Welsh coast offers an array of opportunities for you to enjoy the sea around Wales. Visit our interactive map to find out about the wildlife you might see, or look at our suggestions of places to go around Wales.
Time to Act
Our seas and the wildlife found within them are under increasing pressure and more effective management is urgently needed. In November 2009, the Marine and Coastal Access Act was introduced which provides a fantastic opportunity to turn this situation around. However, we now need your help to ensure that that this legislation is effectively implemented in Wales. Find out about our marine campaign or how you can get involved.
The next few years could be remembered as the most important period in history for the protection of Welsh seas, but now is the time to act.
