Benthic Habitat Mapping of Cardigan Bay, in Relation to the Distribution of the Bottlenose Dolphin
Benthic Habitat Mapping of Cardigan Bay, in relation to the distribution of the Bottlenose Dolphin (Tursiops truncatus). A dissertation submitted in part candidature for the Degree of B.Sc., Institute of Biological Sciences, University of Wales, Aberystwyth. By Hannah Elizabeth Vallin © Sarah Perry May 2011 1 Acknowledgments I would like to give my thanks to several people who made contributions to this study being carried out. Many thanks to be given firstly to the people of Cardigan Bay Marine Wild life centre who made this project possible, for providing the resources and technological equipment needed to carry out the investigation and for their wealth of knowledge of Cardigan Bay and its local wildlife. With a big special thanks to Steve Hartley providing and allowing the survey to be carried out on board the Sulaire boat. Also, to Sarah Perry for her time and guidance throughout, in particular providing an insight to the OLEX system and GIS software. To Laura Mears and the many volunteers that contributed to participating in the sightings surveys during the summer, and for all their advice and support. I would like to thank my dissertation supervisor Dr. Helen Marshall for providing useful advice, support, and insightful comments to writing the report, as well as various staff members of Aberystwyth University who provided educational support. Finally many thanks to my family and friends who have supported me greatly for the duration. Thankyou. i Abstract The distribution and behaviour of many marine organisms such the bottlenose dolphin Tursiops truncates, are influenced by the benthic habitat features, environmental factors and affinities between species of their surrounding habitats. -
An Early Medieval Cemetery and Circular Enclosure at Felindre Farchog, North Pembrokeshire
100 Archaeology in Wales 56 AN EARLY MEDIEVAL CEMETERY AND CIRCULAR ENCLOSURE AT FELINDRE FARCHOG, NORTH PEMBROKESHIRE Chris Casswell1 , Rhiannon Comeau2 , and Mike Parker Pearson3 with contributions by Mark Bowden4 , Rebecca Pullen5 , David Field 6, Charlene Steele7 and Kate Welham8 Surveys and excavation were undertaken by the Stones of Stonehenge project in 2014 and 2015 at a site near Felindre Farchog, North Pembrokeshire. The site — a 30m-diameter circular earthwork discovered from the air in 2009 — was investigated for the possibility that it might be a flattened prehistoric burial mound or even the remains of a dismantled stone circle or a small henge. Excavation revealed it to be a circular enclosure and an inhumation cemetery of early medieval type within and around an apparently natural mound. Twenty-one east- west grave cuts were identified, some of which were slate-lined. No human remains have survived in this acidic soil. The only artefact found within a grave was a small blue glass bead likely to date to the early medieval period. The burial ground is likely to date to the period before burial in churchyards became the norm, which could have been as late as the 12th century. Figure 1.

Pembrokeshire Rivers Trust Report on Activities
Pembrokeshire Rivers Trust Report on activities carried out for Adopt-a-riverbank initiative Funded by Dulverton Trust, (Community Foundation in Wales) 23.10.15 to 1.11.16 3 December 2016 Page 1 of 15 Adopt-A-Riverbank Project 2015/16 The Adopt-A-Riverbank project aimed to get as many people as possible engaged in visiting and monitoring their local riverbank. The project was conceived as an initiative to develop and broaden the activities of Pembrokeshire Rivers Trust, building on projects that the Trust has been involved in over the last few years, such as The Cleddau Trail project, the European Fisheries Fund (EFF) project and the Coed Cymru Nature Fund river restoration project. Plans and funding bids were put together during the Summer of 2015 during the last months of the EFF project in order to create a role and bid for funding that would provide ongoing work for the EFF project staff. In July 2015 PRT applied to the Dulverton Trust (Community Fund in Wales) and also to a number of other funding streams including the Natural Resources Wales, Woodward Trust, Milford Haven Port Authority, Supermarkets 5p bag schemes and other local organisations. The aim was to fund a £40K 2 year project with ambitious targets for numbers of people reached and kilometres of riverbank adopted, and to create a sustainable framework for co-ordination and engagement of PRT’s volunteers. PRT was only successful with one of its funding applications; unfortunately no other funding was secured. The Dulverton Trust (Community Foundation in Wales) kindly awarded PRT £5,000. -

THE ROLE of GRAZING ANIMALS and AGRICULTURE in the CAMBRIAN MOUNTAINS: Recognising Key Environmental and Economic Benefits Delivered by Agriculture in Wales’ Uplands
THE ROLE OF GRAZING ANIMALS AND AGRICULTURE IN THE CAMBRIAN MOUNTAINS: recognising key environmental and economic benefits delivered by agriculture in Wales’ uplands Author: Ieuan M. Joyce. May 2013 Report commissioned by the Farmers’ Union of Wales. Llys Amaeth,Plas Gogerddan, Aberystwyth, Ceredigion, SY23 3BT Telephone: 01970 820820 Executive Summary This report examines the benefits derived from the natural environment of the Cambrian Mountains, how this environment has been influenced by grazing livestock and the condition of the natural environment in the area. The report then assesses the factors currently causing changes to the Cambrian Mountains environment and discusses how to maintain the benefits derived from this environment in the future. Key findings: The Cambrian Mountains are one of Wales’ most important areas for nature, with 17% of the land designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). They are home to and often a remaining stronghold of a range of species and habitats of principal importance for the conservation of biological diversity with many of these species and habitats distributed outside the formally designated areas. The natural environment is critical to the economy of the Cambrian Mountains: agriculture, forestry, tourism, water supply and renewable energy form the backbone of the local economy. A range of non-market ecosystem services such as carbon storage and water regulation provide additional benefit to wider society. Documentary evidence shows the Cambrian Mountains have been managed with extensively grazed livestock for at least 800 years, while the pollen record and archaeological evidence suggest this way of managing the land has been important in the area since the Bronze Age. -
Dyfed Final Recommendations News Release
NEWS RELEASE Issued by the Telephone 02920 395031 Boundary Commission for Wales Caradog House Fax 02920 395250 1-6 St Andrews Place Cardiff CF10 3BE Date 25 August 2004 FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUENCIES IN THE PRESERVED COUNTY OF DYFED The Commission propose to make no change to their provisional recommendations for five constituencies in the preserved county of Dyfed. 1. Provisional recommendations in respect of Dyfed were published on 5 January 2004. The Commission received eleven representations, five of which were in support of their provisional recommendations. Three of the representations objected to the inclusion of the whole of the Cynwyl Elfed electoral division within the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire constituency, one objected to the name of the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire constituency and one suggested the existing arrangements for the area be retained. 2. The Commission noted that, having received no representation of the kind mentioned in section 6 (2) of the Parliamentary Constituencies Act 1986, there was no statutory requirement to hold a local inquiry. The Commission further decided that in all the circumstances they would not exercise their discretion under section 6 (1) to hold an inquiry. Final recommendations 3. The main objection to the provisional recommendations was in respect of the inclusion of the Cynwyl Elfed electoral division in the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire constituency. It was argued that the division should be included in Carmarthen East and Dinefwr on the grounds that the majority of the electorate in the division fell within that constituency and that inclusion in Carmarthen East and Dinefwr rather than Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire would reduce the disparity between the electorates of the two constituencies and would bring them closer to the electoral quota. -
