Our projects

As well as working towards overall Living Landscapes and Living Seas, we lead on a variety of partnership projects across south and west Wales. From species reintroductions, tackling invasive non-native species, community nature restoration and more.

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.
