    Expert Assessment of TLSB’s monitoring proposal for Atlantic salmon and sea trout, as set out in the Adaptive Environmental Management Plan (AEMP) Prof. Carlos Garcia de Leaniz, Dr. Luca Börger, Dr. Jim Bull, Dr. Sofia Consuegra Swansea University, College of Science Department of BioSciences Singleton Park, Swansea SA2 8PP Swansea 17 June 215 1 In relation to the Tidal Lagoon Swansea Bay development, this report comprises 1. A critical assessment of the power analysis done by THA on behalf of TLSB 2. An outline of some forecasting simulations , along with some pilot results, to address some of the question being asked in the AEMP 3. An outline of alternative ways of monitoring that would better fulfil some of the AEMP’s objectives 2 1. Critical assessment of the power analysis done by THA on behalf of TLSB In their Adaptive Environmental Management Plan (Revision 4 of 25 November 2014), and then on Document No. 580N0601 dated 20 February 2015, THA presented the results of a power analysis based of annual rod catches for salmon and sea trout in the rivers Tawe, Afan and Neath which were claimed to indicate that 3 years of monitoring might be enough to detect an impact on rod catches. Some relevant statements of these two reports are reproduced below: The proportional representation data was less variable because the proportion that any one year made up of the total count for the period of record is likely to be more consistent from year to year than the raw rod count for many reasons, e.g.

The project, funded by the Dŵr Cymru WFD Project Funding scheme, aimed to raise awareness of the water environment and improve water quality in the Swansea area. The project was part of, and built upon, a wider initiative developed by Environment Agency Wales, working in partnership with others to employ a holistic approach to managing water quality. Two new officer posts were created to deliver the project and these were supported by a steering group comprising representatives of the three partner organisations. The Dŵr Cymru WFD Project Funding scheme provided £100,000 to the project with an additional £30,000 contributed by Environment Agency Wales (replaced by Natural Resources Wales).

  • Report on the Welsh Beaches in Need of A
    Surfers Against Sewage Are Calling For A Review of the UK’s Bathing Water Sample Sites. Welsh Report Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) believe the weekly bathing water samples required by the EU Bathing Water Directive should be taken from the area of the bathing water that presents bathers and water users with the greatest source of pollution, if a significant amount of bathers and recreational water users can be expected to regularly use that area of beach. Surfers Against Sewage are concerned that 45 designated bathing water sample spots around the UK do not provide a true guide to the water quality that a bather or water user might experience at our bathing waters, including 11 in Wales. The implications are incredible concerning, as our widely promoted water quality results could be misleading the public about the potential health risk at a number of the UK’s bathing water. The Bathing Water Directive states (Art3.3) the monitoring point should be where most bathers are expected or the greatest risk of pollution is expected, according to the bathing water profile. In the UK Regulations (Schedule 4.1) Defra have transposed the obligation to locate the monitoring point where the most bathers are expected. This was part of the original transposition The European Commission’s Reference Document for the monitoring and assessment requirements of the revised Bathing Water Directive published August 2014 states: • A bathing water is not defined by its physical size. The length of its corresponding beach can vary between bathing waters and the distribution of bathers within a bathing water can be uneven.
