Please, please, please reverse the decision on cutting funding for the seabird monitoring study on Skomer. This has come at the worst possible time for these birds, numbers of which were decimated by the winter storms in the Atlantic. It is imperative that we continue this valuable work to stop the decline in these birds. Many thanks.

At a time when key breeding colonies are being faced with food shortages and the potential impact of hundreds of offshore wind turbines on feeding and migratory routes, we should be putting more money into monitoring, not axing it altogether.

Prof Peter Matthews, chairman of NRW, apparently "Chemist, Water and Environment Manager, and Environmentalist". Perhaps this "Professor" doesn't view this 40+-year study as being 'scientific' enough? Shame on NRW.

Sacrificing long-term research for short-term savings shows a clear lack of appreciation of the bigger picture.

Long-term datasets are essential for monitoring environmental change, and for assessing policy outcomes.

It is so important that such a long-running data set must continue to monitor seabird populations.

Given the awful impact on UK seabirds of the past winter's storms, there couldn't be a worse time than now to cut research funding into Guillemots.
