OBIS UK MeasurementOrFact Open in mapper Explore occurrences

Skomer Marine Conservation Zone (MCZ) is the only MCZ in Wales and sits within the Pembrokeshire Islands marine SAC (Special Area of Conservation). Natural Resoures Wales (NRW) has a duty to monitor these sites and plankton is not only a feature of the MCZ, but also a fundamental part in understanding the functioning of all the marine habitats that form features of the SAC. Skomer was a Marine Nature Reserve (wildlife and countryside act) but since 2009 is now a Marine Conservation Zone which was designated under the Marine & Coastal access act.
