WTSWW’s marine monitoring work gathers evidence for critical datasets, used to strengthen the resilience of Wales’ network of protected marine sites and the protection of the marine species found within these sites. Long-term, uninterrupted datasets are particularly important to assess broad population trends, filling knowledge gaps, and informing decisions about use of the marine environment.

WTSWW’s ‘Connecting the Future’ project has allowed the Trust to invest in essential infrastructure work and equipment to enable them to maintain and enhance their valuable sites in south and west Wales so that they can continue to operate as key components in the Welsh nature network.

The Great Big Nature Survey is all about people and nature.
