A somewhat worrying development as an unmarked trailer appears to have been abandoned in Loughor. The body of the vehicle contains a few rotting mussels and some orange, nylon sacking that looks remarkably like the sacks of bivalves I saw being removed from the mud of the Loughor estuary opposite the camp site in Bynea. I certainly would not consider eating such items given the Industrial history of the area (there are lots of heavy metals in them there sediments).
This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.
