The formerly pristine river Wye is reportedly under serious threat, having been contaminated by faeces from 'free range' chicken farms near its banks (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/jun/20/its-like-pea-soup-poultry-farms-turn-wye-into-wildlife-death-trap) The resulting algal blooms have converted its waters into a death trap for wildlife. It really should not be too difficult to stop this type of pollution.
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.
