In the Cardigan district, finds of Armoricochitina reticulifera within strata referred to the clingani graptolite Biozone (morrisi Subzone), together with accessory species, indicate the Fungochitina spinifera chitinozoan Biozone, known from several Ordovician sections in northern England that span the base of the Ashgill Series. Tanuchitina ?bergstroemi, eponymous of the succeeding chitinozoan biozone, has tentatively been recovered from strata of Pleurograptus linearis graptolite Biozone age in the Cardigan area. The T. ?bergstroemi Biozone can also be correlated with the type Ashgill Series of northern England. Chitinozoans suggest that the widespread Welsh Basin anoxic–oxic transition at the base of the Nantmel Mudstones Formation in Wales, traditionally equated with the Caradoc–Ashgill boundary, is of Cautleyan (or younger Ashgill) age in the Cardigan area.

  • Report on Marine Protected Areas
    Welsh Government Report to the National Assembly for Wales on Marine Protected Areas in Wales February 2014 © Crown Copyright 2014 Digital ISBN 978 1 4734 0974 3 WG20649 CONTENTS Introduction 2 Background 4 National, European and International commitments 5 Current Marine Protected Areas in Wales 7 Assessment of existing Marine Protected Areas 13 MPA management 16 Annex 17 INTRODUCTION 1. This document provides the Welsh Government’s Report to the National Assembly for Wales on the Marine Protected Areas network, in response to recommendation 10 of the Environment and Sustainability Committee’s Marine Inquiry. Recommendation 10: By the 31 December 2013, the Welsh Government should voluntarily lay before the Assembly a report that meets the requirement of section 124 of the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009. This report should include an appraisal of the environmental status, governance and enforcement of existing marine protected areas. 2. Section 124 of the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 (the Marine Act) requires the Welsh Ministers to lay a report before the National Assembly for Wales on the extent to which it has achieved the objectives in the Marine Act to use conservation sites to contribute to a UK network of marine protected areas. The report must cover further steps needed to meet the network objectives, as well as specific details on any Marine Conservation Zones that have been designated. 3. The network objectives as detailed in section 123 of the Marine Act are that European marine sites (Special Areas of Conservation, Special Protection Areas), Sites of Special Scientific Interest and Ramsar sites form a network which contributes to the conservation or improvement of the marine environment in the UK marine area; where the features which are protected by the sites comprised in the network represent the range of features present in the UK marine area; and recognises the conservation of a feature may require the designation of more than one site.

  • Marine Character Areas MCA 19 WEST PEMBROKESHIRE
    Marine Character Areas MCA 19 WEST PEMBROKESHIRE ISLANDS, BARS & INSHORE WATERS Location and boundaries This Marine Character Area comprises the inshore waters off the west Pembrokeshire coast, encompassing the offshore islands of the Bishops and Clerks, Grassholm and The Smalls. The boundary between this MCA and MCA 17 (Outer Cardigan Bay) is consistent with a change from low energy sub-littoral sediment in the eastern part of this MCA to moderate/high energy sub-littoral sediment influencing MCA 17. The southern boundary is formed along a distinct break between marine sediments. The northern offshore boundary follows the limits of the Wales Inshore Marine Plan Area. The MCA encompasses all of the following Pembrokeshire local SCAs: 12: Strumble Head Deep Water; 14: Western Sand and Gravel Bars; 19: Bishops and Clerks; 28: West Open Sea; and 27: Grassholm and The Smalls. It also includes the western part of SCA 8: North Open Sea MCA 19 West Pembrokeshire Islands, Bars & Inshore Waters - Page 1 of 7 Key Characteristics Key Characteristics Varied offshore MCA with a large area of sea, ranging from 30-100m in depth on a gravelly sand seabed. A striking east-west volcanic bedrock ridges form a series of islands (Smalls, Grassholm and Bishops and Clerks), rock islets and reefs along submarine ridges, interspersed with moderately deep channels off the west coast. Two elongated offshore bars of gravelly sand lie on the seabed parallel to the coastline, shaped in line with tidal stream. Bais Bank (parallel with St David’s Head) includes shallows of less than 10m depth and dangerous shoals/overfalls.
