occur around the UK can be
built up and records of mortality can quickly highlight unusual numbers of strandings flagging up potential problems.
The collaborative project is implemented in Wales by Marine Environmental Monitoring and funded by the Welsh Assembly Government and the Countryside Council for Wales. |
