Delighted to reveal these beautiful works of art by .evans.illustrator 😍😮 Yes, it really is like this here!

1. Up-river cross section. An underwater interpretation of the Milford Haven waterway from Benton Castle across to Lawrenny, showing seabed topography and local marine life.
2. Down-river cross section. An underwater interpretation of the Milford Haven waterway from Castlebeach Bay across to West Angle.
These will be used to raise awareness and for educational purposes.

This was produced as part of the Partnership Delivery of MPA Improvements in Wales project. It was funded by the Nature Networks Fund, a programme delivered by the Heritage Fund on behalf of the Welsh Government.

Yn falch iawn o ddatgelu'r gweithiau celf hyfryd hyn gan .evans.illustrator 😍😮 Ydy, mae hi wir fel hyn yma!
1. Trawstoriad i fyny'r afon. Dehongliad tanddwr o'r ddyfrffordd Aberdaugleddau o Gastell Benton ar draws i Lawrenni, yn dangos topograffeg gwely'r môr a bywyd morol lleol.
2. Trawstoriad i lawr yr afon. Dehongliad tanddwr o ddyfrffordd Aberdaugleddau o Fae Castlebeach ar draws i Orllewin Angle.
Bydd y rhain yn cael eu defnyddio i godi ymwybyddiaeth ac at ddibenion addysgol.

Cynhyrchwyd hwn fel rhan o brosiect Cyflawni Gwelliannau yn Ardaloedd Morol Gwarchodedig (AMG) yng Nghymru mewn Partneriaeth. Ariannwyd y gwaith drwy’r Gronfa Rhwydweithiau Natur, rhaglen a gyflwynir gan Gronfa Dreftadaeth y Loteri Genedlaethol ar ran Llywodraeth Cymru.

🌊 World Oceans Day Spotlight: Pink Sea Fan
Delicate, colourful, and surprisingly long-lived… the Pink Sea Fan is one of Wales’ most special underwater species 💗Did you know:

✨ The biggest sea fan on record is over 100 years old. It measures at 50cm tall and a metre wide
✨ A coral polyp with 8 tentacles is called an octoral, “octo” meaning 8
✨ North Pembrokeshire is the northern most point this species grows in Wales
✨ These corals grow extremely slowly – some have been monitored for 30+ years at Skomer
✨ When feeding, they look fluffy… and more stick-like when resting
✨ Despite the name, this species can also be orange and even white in colour

These fragile corals are a reminder of just how unique—and vulnerable—our seas are.

🌊 Diwrnod Moroedd y Byd dan y chwyddwydr: Môr-wyntyll Binc

Yn gain, yn lliwgar, ac yn rhyfeddol o hirhoedlog… y Fôr-wyntyll Binc yw un o rywogaethau tanddwr mwyaf arbennig Cymru 💗Oeddech chi'n gwybod:

✨ Mae’r fôr-wyntyll fwyaf a gofnodwyd dros 100 mlwydd oed. Mae 50cm o uchder a metr o led
✨ Gelwir polyp cwrel gydag 8 tentacl yn octoral, mae "octo" yn golygu 8
✨ Gogledd Sir Benfro yw'r pwynt mwyaf gogleddol yng Nghymru lle mae'r rhywogaeth hon yn tyfu
✨ Mae'r cwrelau hyn yn tyfu'n araf iawn – mae rhai wedi cael eu monitro ers 30+ mlynedd ar Sgomer
✨ Wrth fwydo, maen nhw'n edrych yn ffluwchog … ac yn fwy tebyg i ffyn wrth orffwys
✨ Er gwaethaf yr enw, gall y rhywogaeth hon fod yn oren a hyd yn oed yn wyn ei lliw hefyd

Mae'r cwrelau cain hyn yn ein hatgoffa o ba mor unigryw—a bregus—yw ein moroedd.

🌊 World Oceans Day Spotlight: Native Oyster
Small but mighty, native oysters are true ecosystem heroes 🦪💙

💧 A single oyster can filter up to 200 litres of water every day
🏠 They form oyster reefs, creating homes for lots of other marine life
🔄 Oysters are molluscs and can change s*x multiple times even within the same year
✨ Despite how they’re often depicted, Wales’ native oysters rarely produce pearls

By restoring oyster populations, we’re helping whole ecosystems thrive 🌊

🌊 Diwrnod Moroedd y Byd dan y chwyddwydr: Wystrys Brodorol
Mae’r wystrys brodorol bach ond nerthol yn arwyr ecosystem go iawn 🦪💙

💧 Gall un wystrysen hidlo hyd at 200 litr o ddŵr bob dydd
🏠 Maen nhw'n ffurfio creigresi wystrys, gan greu cartrefi i lawer o fywyd morol arall
🔄 Mae wystrys yn folysgiaid a gallant newid rhyw sawl gwaith hyd yn oed o fewn yr un flwyddyn
✨ Er gwaethaf sut maen nhw’n cael eu darlunio’n aml, yn anaml y mae wystrys brodorol Cymru yn cynhyrchu perlau

Drwy adfer poblogaethau wystrys, rydym yn helpu ecosystemau cyfan i ffynnu 🌊

Happy 😍
Otters use the coastal environment in Wales as well as inland rivers. 🦦🌊

Dydd Hapus y Dyfrgi Byd-eang! 😍
Mae dyfrgwn yn defnyddio’r amgylchedd arfordirol yng Nghymru yn ogystal ag afonydd mewndirol. 🦦🌊
