Operation to protect animals living on the coastline takes place in north Wales

A national campaign which aims to protect animals living on the coastline is taking place in north Wales this summer.

During the spring and summer months, north Wales attracts hundreds of tourists to its coastline.

This brings increases in recreational activities such as boating, kayaking, paddle boarding and more, which has the potential to disturb wildlife if not conducted in a safe and responsible manner.

Operation Seabird Cymru aims to engage and educate the public about the sensitivities of the coastline, and how simple changes in their behaviour could reduce pressure on our unique wildlife.

North Wales Police are asking those out and about along the coast this summer to remember that any activity has the potential to cause disturbance to wildlife, if not conducted in a responsible and safe manner.
