Abstract

This report was commissioned under ERAMMP to review monitoring activity at the Land-Sea interface identifying opportunities to better align monitoring activities and improve understanding of pathways and impact, working with Natural Resources Wales (NRW) and Welsh Government (WG) marine policy. The Welsh nation is closely connected to the sea with 60% of the population living on or near the coast, with the furthest settlement only 50 miles from the Irish Sea. The coastal economy makes up a significant percentage of national GDP through tourism, ports and shipping.
