Wales - North Wales Police
VISITORS to the North Wales coast are being asked to bear in mind the impact of their activities on wildlife.
On April 14, North Wales Police along with the RSPCA, Natural Resources Wales, the North Wales Wildlife Trust and other Welsh police forces, will be taking part in Operation Seabird.
The national campaign aims to engage and educate people about the sensitivities of the coastline, and how simple changes in behaviour could reduce pressure on unique wildlife.
Because of its picturesque appearance, North Wales attracts hundreds of tourists every year, many of whom may not be aware of the impact they are having on the coastal wildlife in the area.
The high tourist attraction to the area also brings increases in recreational activities such as boating, kayaking, paddleboarding and more, which has the potential to disturb wildlife if not conducted in a safe and responsible manner.
