The tenth report in its series, The State of the South-West’s Seas Report has been published, bringing the marine and coastal community together annually to consider and communicate the changes that are taking place in our local seas.

Every year brings exciting and interesting observations of marine life and environmental conditions that help us to understand how the marine environment ‘works’, how it is changing and whether management of human activities and impacts is making a difference to the health of our seas. Capturing and interpreting those observations and activities is what the group of specialists reporting in the ‘South-West Marine Ecosystems in 2023’ do. Their report on 2023 has just been published.
