  • Dyfed Invertebrate Group Has Received Amongst Entomologists Nationwide and There Are Now Almost One Hundred Subscribers to the Newsletter
    DYFED INVERTEBRATE GROUP NEWSLETTER N°. 2 June 1986 We have been gratified by the reception that the formation of the Dyfed Invertebrate Group has received amongst entomologists nationwide and there are now almost one hundred subscribers to the Newsletter. This is a sound base upon which to establish our contribution to invertebrate conservation in west Wales and the specialists involved cover a very wide range of groups. With the summer now upon us (or so I'm reliably informed) the impetus should be there for us all to get out 'in the field' and add to our knowledge of the distribution and ecological requirements of the county fauna. Do remember to send in your records to the relevant county recorders and keep us informed of any interesting observations. The Newsletter is here to ensure that significant records and accounts of methodical surveys find their way in to print. We would welcome more feed-back from subscribers, both in the form of articles for the Newsletter and suggestions for the improvement of DIG - do drop us a line from time to time and tell us how your invertebrate work is progressing. Which brings me to the thorny problem of subscriptions! The DIG Newsletter is produced entirely through the kindness of NCC Dyfed-Powys in allowing us access to secretarial and photo-copying facilities. However, we would appreciate assistance with postage and hence the subscription for 1986 will be four First Class Stamps. Please send your 'subscription' to the Editor during the course of the summer. We regret that the September issue of the Newsletter will not be sent to members who have not forwarded their subscription in time.

    Seascape Character Area Description Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Seascape Character Assessment No: 21 Seascape Character St Brides Bay coastal waters east Area Name: Looking south from Newgale Nolton Haven 21-1 Supplementary Planning Guidance: Seascape Character Assessment December 2013 Seascape Character Area Description Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Seascape Character Assessment View from Little Haven across St Bride’s Bay View across Broad Haven beach Summary Description The west facing coast of St Brides Bay has a series of long beaches interspersed with short sections of cliffs with distinctive profiles such as Ricketts Head. There are wide and open views across the bay, with the cliffs and headlands of the south and north coasts containing the view. The beaches such as Newgale are popular surfing locations with associated holiday accommodation, with some lowland valleys and low rolling pastoral hills in the hinterland. Large ships at anchor deeper in the bay are visible from the shore. Key Characteristics Long sandy beaches interspersed with cliffs and rocky foreshores. Low rolling hills running back from the coast are mainly pasture with some arable, with some narrow wooded valleys and the flat valley of Brandy Brook with marsh vegetation. The sea is relatively exposed to westerly winds, with strong surf over long shallow beaches. Drying or submerged rocks are boating hazards. Popular visitor destination with small coastal settlements and associated visitor facilities such as cafes, holiday homes and caravan/camping parks. Popular beaches for surfing, swimming and beach activities with some dinghy sailing, rowing, kayaking and jet skis. Fishing includes beach seining and beach nets, set nets, lobster and crab potting.
