P-04-579 Reinstate funding for Skomer Island's Guillemot monitoring
Natural
Resources Wales have cut the £12,000 annual funding they provide for the
on-going Guillemot monitoring study on Skomer Island. This is a hugely
important study, and gives valuable insights into seabird life and what affects
their populations. Not only is it a shame to end such a long running (and
therefore valuable) data set, but the cut couldn't have come at a worse time,
considering the huge impact the recent storms have had on seabird populations
(current death toll 25,000 and rising). This is a very bad decision on the part
of Natural Resources Wales, and we'd like to see it amended.
