Wildlife and where to see it

Lying where warm waters from the south meet cool nutrient rich currents from the north, the sea around Wales is special in many ways and is home to a vast array of weird and wonderful wildlife. 

With several hundred kilometres of coastline stretching from the Dee Estuary to Chepstow, we are lucky enough here in Wales to experience a large range of coastal and marine habitats from saltmarshes to tidal rapids and mudflats to rocky reefs.

Reporting stranded marine animals can allow us to paint a picture of what is going on in our seas, allowing us to take better measures to protect them.
