It appears that relatively £12k is a small amount of money for Natural Resources Wales. If you actually spent over £7k on a new logo then putting up £12k to help ensure the survival of our beautiful seabirds and other creatures within the Welsh ecosystems is surely not too much to ask. Please reconsider your decision.

Long term data sets are invaluable and particularly important to understand the significance of recent mortality.

£12000 a year for such an important long term study. What an incredible bargain! This is the sort of project I'd like to see NRW do more of.

Long-term data cannot be just turned on and off!

We cannot afford to neglect information gathering about our natural world

This is a really bad decision. As a Canadian seabird researcher I have long looked to UK for leadership in the field. Tragic to see an important study like this terminated.

This is avery short sighted decision with seabird populations in crisis. I realise you have to decrease spending in the current financial problems, but please find somewhere else!

A ridiculous bit of costs trimming that totally ignores, or at best fails to recognise, the value of this long-term study. A better way to save money would be to downsize the hierarchy at NRW, who obviously have no idea of the worth of focussed studies in providing direction for nature conservation actions. They should be held accountable for this lack of insight and thinking.

Long term studies of sebirds are essential to understanding the changes they are experiencing. £12000 is a small price to pay for such important work. Come on NRW, act responsibly!

NRW should be ashamed of themselves.
