Description

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.
