On Monday we were on-site at Llyn Cwellyn to collect the sediment core sample for the palaeoecological study.

Earlier this week we attended the 2024 Bionet Conference. It was great to hear from a diverse range of speakers and organisations about the innovative work being carried out to help tackle the issues facing our waterways.

Last week we visited Ysgol Bro Hedd Wyn in Trawsfynydd to speak to the pupils about Fresh Water Pearl Mussels. The pupils learnt about North Wales Rivers Trust and the work that is taking place to improve the habitat for Fresh Water Pearl Mussels and other species in their local area.

Over the weekend, we were joined by Bangor University students for a community tree planting day. Together we planted a further 120 native trees along the Afon Eden, as part of our Fresh Water Pearl Mussel Project.

Last night we held the second meeting of the Menai Strait Partnership Forum. There was a fantastic turnout with general members of the public, business owners and students all coming together to help us shape the future of the forum.

As part of Prosiect Torgoch we will be delivering a comprehensive water quality monitoring programme at Llyn Cwellyn. The lake is located near Rhyd Ddu below the summit of Eryri and contains one of only three natural populations of torgoch (Arctic charr) in Wales.

Today, we hosted a drop-in session for the Rhosneigr community and local businesses to delve into the details of our Floating Wetlands pilot project. It was great to see that members of the community were eager to learn about the project's objectives and sign up to participate in the monitoring of the project.

Over the weekend we joined forces with members of the Bangor University Students Union, for a beach clean-up in Beaumaris. This collaborative effort was great fun and made a real impact on the beach.

Tonight we have been inspiring students at Bangor University to get involved in our upcoming freshwater projects. Over forty amazing volunteers have signed up to our 2024 programme! 

On Tuesday, February 6th we held an open evening for our exciting new project; Prosiect Torgoch. The event, attended by members of the community, stakeholders, and environmental enthusiasts, provided an opportunity to learn about the conservation of the Torgoch.

Following the successful launch of the Menai Straits Partnership Forum back in March 2023, we are delighted to announce the dates for our next meeting on 15th February 2024 at Marine Centre Wales.
