The sea life around Wales’ coasts has been mapped out with new data from a significant study examining whales, dolphins, porpoises and seabird species.

This study includes the most extensive collation of survey data and distribution maps for cetaceans and seabirds in Welsh seas.

The research offers the most comprehensive findings noted in the past three decades, according to marine scientists from Natural Resources Wales (NRW).

Experts from the Sea Watch Foundation and Bangor University analysed data from 12 cetacean and 28 seabird species.
