Projects
We work on and manage a number of projects that along with our core work help us to manage the coast in a sustainable way. These projects not only assist our partners in achieving their aims but they are often seen as ground breaking and on a National level are used as examples of best practice. Some of our projects are highlighted below while you can view more information by hovering over the projects tab above.
Pembrokeshire Marine Code Group
The Marine Code Group was developed by local operators and other organisations working closely with the Pembrokeshire Coast National park Authority and the National Trust. These organisations are all concerned about the long-term management of the coastal area and the development of high standards of practice. They recognise that sustainable use must be a key theme in marine recreational activities and education. The Marine Code encourages groups to show respect and consideration for the land owners, environment, wildlife and other users. To find out more click here!
Pembrokeshire Outdoor Charter Group
The Pembrokeshire Outdoor Charter Group is a collection of outdoor activity centre businesses, environmental education centres, conservation groups and organisations. It was established to develop sustainable environmental growth in the rapidly expanding outdoor activity industry in the county of Pembrokeshire. These businesses operate in sensitive areas of the coast and countryside of Pembrokeshire. To find out more about the project click here!
Marine Energy Pembrokeshire (Mep)
Mep has been set up to provide information and promote Pembrokeshire as a Hub for Marine Renewables. Pembrokeshire has huge potential to assist in the National and International drive to lower our resilience on fossil fuels and move towards a low carbon future. The area not only has the greatest wave resource in Wales and excellent tidal stream potential but excellent grid connection possibilities, world class port facilities and research, collaborative working and unrivaled data collection.

Wales Activity Mapping
As South West Wales experiences a significant growth in activity tourism, coastal managers are faced with an increasing challenge in terms of sustainable development of the tourism and recreation industry. The project aims to improve the quality of recreational activity-related data in order to provide a management tool for more effective and proactive management of the tourism and recreation industry.

Sustainable Coastal Recreation Planning
Our sustainable coastal recreation planning project has included close partnership working with the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority. We have assisted in the development a Recreation Plan for the area including carrying out the public consultation. We have also been involved in developing the Enjoy Pembroke website which is aimed at providing sustainable recreational advice to the public. These two components combined with the recreation audit project will be part of Welsh Governments Destination Management Toolkit. To find out more about the project click here!
Buzz Club Schools
This Project aims to work with communities and schools across Pembrokeshire to explore our relationship with the sea, to understand the importance of our maritime environment, competing demands on it, future trends and opportunities for influencing decision making. The project also aims to raise awareness of the significant opportunities there are for recreation, education, volunteering and employment on the coast. To find out more about the project click here!
Wales Spatial Plan
We were approached by Welsh Governments’ the Haven Delivery Steering Group who needed assistance in identifying areas of activity and opportunity in relation to the key objective ‘Maximising maritime assets and links to Ireland’ and produced a scoping report and action plan to be considered by the Steering Group. Although we identified a number of opportunities Marine Renewable Energy was the suggested area that provided the most exciting sustainable opportunity. From this work the Marine Energy Pembrokeshire project was started. To find out more about the project click here!
