Today, North Wales Police alongside other agencies such as RSPCA, Natural Resources Wales and the North Wales Wildlife Trust and other Welsh police forces are taking part in Operation Seabird Cymru.
The initiative aims to engage and educate people about the sensitivities of the Welsh coastline, and how simple changes in their behaviour could reduce pressure on our unique wildlife.
Sergeant Liam Jones of the North Wales Police Rural Crime Team said “Op Seabird Cymru seeks to engage key partners to work with the police throughout Wales to educate those people who use our coastal areas and seas and to enable them to enjoy our wildlife safely and without disturbance.
“Over the years we have seen an increase in people using our coastal areas and being unaware of the effect that they can have on coastal birds and mammals if they act irresponsibly.
“A disturbance can have a devastating effect on certain species and their habitats and with simple education and engagement we can help prevent it from happening.”
