Skomer Marine Nature Reserve
Boundary of Skomer Marine Nature Reserve
The entrance to the Skomer MNR visitor centreThe Skomer Marine Nature Reserve is one of only three marine nature reserves in the UK. This is the only one in Wales and is run by the Countryside Council for Wales.The CCW MNR staff team, based at Martin’s Haven monitor the seas around Skomer using many techniques, including diving and underwater photography. Both short term and long term changes and trends can be picked up in this way, and the work on the site is very important in helping us understand the marine environment better, and particularly the impacts of climate change on our seas.
There is a new visitor centre next to the MNR office which you can pop into and take a look as you pass by on the way to catch the boat to Skomer Island. This tells you what is under the waves as you travel to the island.
There are lots of colourful images to look at and an interactive screen with a range of links including video clips showing what life under the sea is really like.
