Welcome

Sea Trust Wales is a charity committed to studying and raising awareness of local marine wildlife. We are based at the Ocean Lab building in Goodwick, Pembrokeshire.

Get to know the Team, discover local wildlife, record a wildlife sighting or take a look at our Sea Môr Aquarium. Looking for something to do during the holidays? Take a look at our Events page. Any questions? Contact us here.

Our aquarium is currently CLOSED. We hope to reopen in spring 2021. We are a catch and release aquarium and we decided that it was best to release the animals back into the sea during the previous COVID fire break. Winter is a difficult time of year to catch new species for our tanks and we usually have fewer visitors in the winter months. Due to the current lockdown in England we are expecting even less vistors than usual and cannot financially afford to reopen the aquarium. Sea Trust will be continuing with our various funded projects and are busy planning and adapting for the future.

“The level of involvement from so many different sectors of society and so many volunteers make your projects quite unique in that you manage to engage with some genuinely hard to reach groups”

“Sea Trust is well placed, with their strong track record in managing and training volunteers, to work with other partners to widen the opportunities for training marine wildlife identification and recording”
