For the first new paragraph proposed in the section titled ‘Marine’, we suggest the following edits:

'The marine SACs in Wales have a number of qualifying features including estuaries, coastal lagoons, large shallow inlets and bays and mudflats/sandflats that are sensitive to high levels of nutrients. The updated condition assessments undertaken by NRW and published in June 2025 identified that nutrient sensitive features at some designated sites had reached an unfavourable condition for Dissolved Inorganic Nitrogen [DIN], phytoplankton and opportunistic macroalgae. These are chemical and biological indicators of nitrogen enrichment.’

The Council agrees that NRW’s suggested edits would improve the accuracy and clarity of the first paragraph of the ‘Marine’ section.
