Reinstate funding for Skomer Island's Guillemot monitoring

All the work that Tim Birkhead and his team have tirelessly carried out for many years is truly worthy of continued FULL support.

Such a shame that a long termstudy will be interrupted.

Please keep this important research ongoing.

It's so vital to keep this long-term project going. It would be dreadful waste to stop it now.

£12,000 is a tiny amount when we know what is wasted on bureaucracy in Wales.

The longer the study goes on the more important it becomes. The long running Edward Grey Institute study of Shearwaters on Skokholm was interrupted when the ownership of the island changed hands some years ago. Please do not let this happen for Guillemots at Skomer.

Long term studies like this are invaluable to monitor populations and any break could well destroy much of its value.

shame on them

This is very important work and it is essential funding is continued to allow long-term monitoring. The amount of money required is small in terms of the overall NRW budget.

need to keep going with the funding

Such a long term project needs to be continued.

This is too important a study to cut funding. It is helping to monitor the effects of Climate change. Please think again NRW!

This doesn't seem a lot of money to provide for a hugely important study. They work very hard on Skomer and it is a wonderful place.

Help them please! I hope this makes a difference :)

I agree... the most accurate monitoring is needed. Restore funding!

Cheshire

This funding is essential to super extremely important studies that underpin our knowledge and understanding of these birds.

At the present time, many of Britain's sea-birds are in decline. Therefore, ending a long-standing study into these birds now would be an extremely counterproductive and unwise thing to do. Conservation has never been more important, and if you're making budget cuts, cut something less necessary.
