Many different uses interact, or compete for water or water space, and inevitably come into conflict with one another. The National Rivers Authority (NRA) is the major manager o f the water environment in England and Wales and aims to harmonise conflicts between competing water users as well as its general duties that include: • Maintenance and improvement of water quality by control of pollution in surface and groundwater. • Flood defence for people and property. • Flood warning. • Management of water resources. • Maintenance and improvement of fisheries. • Conservation of the natural water environment. • Promotion of water based recreation. • Navigation (in some rivers). The NRA believes it can only carry out its work by adopting the concept ol integrated catchment management. This means that a river catchment is considered as a whole and the actions in each of our areas of responsibility must take account o f the possible impact on the other areas. We have decided to formally present our catchment management policies to the public via Catchment Management Plans which will be produced for all the rivers in Wales by 1998. The Plans are intended to provide a link between us and the users of water in each catchment so that we can better reflect their interests whilst carrying out our duties. For this reason each Plan includes a Consultation Phase during which the general public are invited to comment on our proposals for the future management of the catchment. 1 CATCHMENT STATISTICS GENERAL A r e a 716 km 2 P o p u la t io n 69,149 (estimated) Ground Levels M ax height 230m A O D Tide Levels Mean High Water Springs -3-1 m A.O.D.

    Seasearch Cymru/Wales 2010 Summary Report Aberystwyth May 2010, Richard West report prepared by Kate Lock, South and West Wales Coordinator Liz Morris, North Wales Coordinator Chris Wood, National Coordinator 1 Seasearch Wales 2010 Seasearch is a volunteer marine habitat and species surveying scheme for recreational divers in Britain and Ireland. It is coordinated by the Marine Conservation Society on behalf of the Seasearch Steering Group. There are two Seasearch regional coordinators in Wales. Kate Lock coordinates the South and West Wales region which extends from the Severn estuary to Aberystwyth. Liz Morris coordinates the North Wales region which extends from Aberystwyth to the Dee. In addition to the two coordinators, there are four other active Seasearch Tutors in North Wales, Harry Goudge, Kirsten Ramsay, Lucy Kay and Rohan Holt; and one in South and West Wales, Jen Jones. Overall guidance and support is provided by the National Seasearch Coordinator, Chris Wood. This report summarises the Seasearch activity in Wales in 2010. It includes summaries of the sites surveyed and identifies rare or unusual species and habitats encountered. These include a number of Welsh Biodiversity Action Plan habitats and species. It does not include all of the data as this has been entered into the Marine Recorder database and supplied to the Countryside Council for Wales for use in its marine conservation activities. The data is also available on-line through the National Biodiversity Network. Data from Wales in 2010 comprised 153 Observation Forms, 141 Survey Forms, 8 online crawfish records and 1 online sea fan record. The total of 303 represents 14% of the data for the whole of Britain and Ireland.

The consequences of this long history provide us with a spectacular coastline of cliffs and sandy beaches together with lakes, marshes and fens of considerable conservation importance. The island is greatly valued by it's inhabitants but also an increasing number of visitors who exploit the extensive opportunities for recreational activities.

  • Anglesey Seascape Character Assessment 1
    Anglesey Seascape Character Assessment Anglesey Seascape Character Assessment 1.1 This Seascape Character Assessment was commissioned in January 2013 by Isle of Anglesey Council with assistance from the Countryside Council for Wales (now Natural Resources Wales). It was prepared by Fiona Fyfe Associates, with Countryscape and Bangor University (SEACAMS), in 2013. 1.2 Seascape character assessment is a development of the well-established process of landscape character assessment. It divides the study area into Seascape Character Types (SCTs) (areas of recognisable character which occur across the study area) and Seascape Character Areas (SCAs) (geographically-distinct areas with a unique sense of place, and comprised of different combinations of SCTs). 1.3 The study area for the project includes coastal land, the intertidal zone, and extends out to the territorial limit (12 nautical miles offshore). Where land outside the study area boundary contributes to seascapes this has been recorded. Within the study area there is a great diversity of terrestrial, intertidal and marine environments. These stem from the varied geology, geomorphology and coastal processes within the area, and also from thousands of years of human activity on land and sea. Combinations of natural and cultural processes continue to shape the evolution of the area’s seascapes. 1.4 The project brief set out a number of purposes for the report, summarised as follows: Contributing to marine spatial planning, and playing an integrating role in the spatialisation of coastal landscape and seascape issues. Informing reviews of the Management Plans for Snowdonia National Park and Anglesey Coast AONB. Extending the coverage of landscape/ seascape assessment beyond the National Park and AONB boundaries (which follow the high water mark) in order to help ascertain the potential impacts of coastal and offshore developments on these protected landscapes.

  • Log Daisy's First Time Round Anglesey 25 to 26 May2013
    Log Yacht: Daisy’s First Time Round Anglesey Dates: 25 to 26 May 2013 Photo by: Mike Hollingsworth Log by Chris Jones Photos by Gordon MacKellar Introduction Circumnavigating things has an inexplicable attraction to yachtsmen. For some the world alone is not enough, it has to be a first or the fastest or by the hardest route. For others dashing round a few buoys trying to be faster than the competition is an end in itself. Our ambitions were somewhere in between the extremes:- To sail a small boat around the navigationally challenging island of Anglesey in North Wales. The waters around Anglesey are renowned for their tidal streams of up to 8 knots, through the notorious rock strewn Swellies in the Menai Straits, the mighty tide races, off the bird watcher's paradise of South Stack and the Skerries Rocks off Carmel Head the island’s north western point where the tides turn from north-south to east-west. There are many delightful sheltered bays. But they may not provide shelter when and where you need it. Many are also strewn with some of the oldest and hardest rocks in Britain and backed by storm beaches testifying to the great forces nature used to make and shape Anglesey. Our first thoughts were to sail round in a Drascome Lugger. A night passage at low water slack was my introduction to the Swellies. Two wetsuit clad swimmers clambering over the Swellies Rock proved this was a place for serious sportsmen and adrenalin junkies. Our passage was tamer, following the Caernarfon Harbour Trust's excellent directions, advice and chartlet on a calm night made the passage seem straight forward.

  • Deri Fawr Llandyfrydog
    Deri Fawr Llandyfrydog Dafydd Hardy Coast & Country Deri Fawr If you have a love for the Welsh countryside, or more specifically the wonderful Isle of Anglesey and are looking for a fine family home with a long established thriving business, then there's no getting away from it – Deri Fawr may be the answer to all of the above. This fabulous home and converted 18th century stone barn resides within some 2 ¼ Acres of beautiful naturally nurtured garden grounds, offering 4 completely self-contained holiday residences as well as 2 modern and comfortable static caravans. And that's just the start! The owners, having created the business and transformed the house over the last thirty years, feel it is time to step back and pass the lifestyle to younger people with fresh ideas. There is much potential to expand the business in a growing market. Tourism is now the predominant industry on Anglesey and this is a rare opportunity to inherit a thriving business and wonderful lifestyle Deri Fawr is situated on the gentle western slopes of a natural vale where Afon Coch (the Red River) runs towards the sea at Dulas Bay. Enjoying a pleasant easterly aspect, there are fine countryside views towards the renowned Mynydd Bodafon on the far side of the valley, designated as an AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) as is the majority of the coastline stretching from Amlwch to the north and Moelfre further south. If you love the sea and exploring the coastline then this really is the perfect base and visitors have so much to do right on their doorstep! The holiday accommodation has been awarded 4 stars by the 'Visit Wales' tourist board, a fitting recognition of the high standard which the present owners have set themselves.
