Other Research

All the SWWTP’s activity currently has, and will continue to include, detailed evaluation and monitoring activity linked to each project. In addition the Partnership plans all its activities based on sound research data.
SWWTP is currently heavily involved in taking forward two Wales Spatial Plan (WSP) research projects, considering future tourism activity in the ‘Pembrokeshire Haven’ and ‘Swansea Bay’ areas. For more information on the Welsh Assembly Government Wales Spatial Plan click here

Visitor Surveys across Pembrokeshire, Tywi Valley, Swansea Bay and Afan Forest Park.
