As a result of very generous EU funding, a 21st century Phoenix, ‘Marine Centre Wales.’ is rising from the ashes. To celebrate this fabulous new addition to the School’s building portfolio, we are holding a grand reunion of Alumni on the weekend of the 27th /28th June 2015. Places are limited, so you are advised to book as early as possible. The primary event is a celebratory evening at Reichel Hall in Bangor to include drinks/nibbles, three course meal with wine and a ceilidh. Several other events have also been organised for the Saturday afternoon -- including a rib-ride through the “Swellies” in the Menai Strait followed by an afternoon tea and cakes get together at Dylan’s restaurant, overlooking the Menai Strait. On Sunday morning, we are planning tours of the Prince Madog (availability permitting) and of the new Marine Centre Wales -- including entertaining talks by visiting alumni and staff.

It is easily accessible on foot from Menai Bridge town centre or from underneath the Menai Suspension Bridge. The main entrance has a number of information panels. It is possible to enjoy walks around the nature reserve woodland, along the foreshore on the Belgian Promenade, and across a short causeway to Church Island. The reserve is on the route of the Anglesey Coastal Path. From the top of the rock outcrop on Church Island, upon which is situated the war memorial, there are exceptionally fine views across the ‘Swellies’ (as this section of the Straits is known) to Telford’s Suspension Bridge and the Britannia Bridge and the woodland along the south shore.

  • The Development of Key Characteristics of Welsh Island Cultural Identity and Sustainable Tourism in Wales
    SCIENTIFIC CULTURE, Vol. 3, No 1, (2017), pp. 23-39 Copyright © 2017 SC Open Access. Printed in Greece. All Rights Reserved. DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.192842 THE DEVELOPMENT OF KEY CHARACTERISTICS OF WELSH ISLAND CULTURAL IDENTITY AND SUSTAINABLE TOURISM IN WALES Brychan Thomas, Simon Thomas and Lisa Powell Business School, University of South Wales Received: 24/10/2016 Accepted: 20/12/2016 Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper considers the development of key characteristics of Welsh island culture and sustainable tourism in Wales. In recent years tourism has become a significant industry within the Principality of Wales and has been influenced by changing conditions and the need to attract visitors from the global market. To enable an analysis of the importance of Welsh island culture a number of research methods have been used, including consideration of secondary data, to assess the development of tourism, a case study analysis of a sample of Welsh islands, and an investigation of cultural tourism. The research has been undertaken in three distinct stages. The first stage assessed tourism in Wales and the role of cultural tourism and the islands off Wales. It draws primarily on existing research and secondary data sources. The second stage considered the role of Welsh island culture taking into consideration six case study islands (three with current populations and three mainly unpopulated) and their physical characteristics, cultural aspects and tourism. The third stage examined the nature and importance of island culture in terms of sustainable tourism in Wales. This has involved both internal (island) and external (national and international) influences.

  • A Study of Saline Incursion Across an Inter-Tidal Zone on Anglesey, Wales
    A study of saline incursion across an inter‐tidal zone on Anglesey, Wales using airborne conductivity data David Beamish British Geological Survey, Keyworth, Nottingham, NG12 5GG, UK. Near Surface Geophysics, 2012, 10, 171-184 Corresponding author: David Beamish British Geological Survey, Keyworth, Nottingham, NG12 5GG, UK Email: [email protected]. Tel: +44(0)115 936 3432 Fax: +44(0)115 936 3261 Right running head: inter-tidal zone, saline incursion Anglesey Wales, airborne ABSTRACT This study considers fixed-wing airborne electromagnetic data obtained by a recent high- resolution airborne geophysical survey across the island of Anglesey, Wales. The survey detected an extensive (~10 km in length) highly conductive, near-surface zone across low- lying marsh and salt-marsh areas. The four frequency electromagnetic survey data enable a continuous assessment of subsurface conductivity variations across the inter-tidal zone and onshore into the Holocene sediments and bedrock. Inshore sea-water conductivities exceed 2000 mS/m but reduce across sandbank areas to a range of values, typically exceeding 500 mS/m. Saline incursion onshore is observed largely at lower values and at a range of scales extending to over 10 km. Within defined salt-marsh areas, a main front of near-surface incursion can be mapped and extends several hundred metres inshore. The main body of subsurface saltwater incursion is largely confined to a trough containing Holocene deposits above Upper Carboniferous (Coal) Measures which were historically mined. The main conductive zone becomes more compact, both vertically and laterally, with increasing distance inland. Modelling of the data indicates that, onshore, the major concentrations of dissolved solids are confined to the upper 30 m within undulating subsurface zones.
