From the cormorants drying their wings in the sun
to the dolphins splashing playfully offshore to the barnacles
and keel worms that thrive in our swift currents - Wales' marine
species and their habitats are just as varied, dramatic and
colourful as the best of our mountain scenery. Dive in and
explore ...
Habitats:
our coast, seashore, estuaries and the open sea all provide
particular habitats for specially adapted marine animals and
plants
Species:
Seals, turtles, dolphins, porpoises, whales, otters, fish and
seabirds - who could ask for a richer tableau
Invasive species:
Not all the species that we currently find in our marine
environment have evolved here naturally!
