Long-term study such as this is very important. I'm sure there must be less important things to cut.

In these uncertain times of global warming studies such as this give important insight into the environmental ramifications of human activity. It is very short-sighted to pull funding on this important study!

just 12 months since reorganisation, and already making cuts to wildlife monitoring, I would doubt they will be undertaking this essential research "in house"

If we are to detect impacts on birds and biodiversity we need long-term data sets

Climate change is influencing sea temperature and food for these birds. We need to study how populations respond.

Long-term data, such as have been collected in the Skomer study, are critical to understanding the effects of environmental change on species and ecosystems. Please find the money somewhere to carry on supporting this vital work.

This is such a short sighted cut in funding given the at least national importance of this guillemot population.
