This is a definitive natural history of the Gower Peninsula, from its heritage coast & its appeal to the naturalist, to the geology, geomorphology, conservation & ecological history. It coincides with the 50th anniversary of the area as an AONB. Located to the south west of Swansea & often described as Wales in miniature, the Gower Peninsula was designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in May, 1946. The area is unique in terms of the variety of the habitats & species that occur within its 188 square kilometres. As a result, it has a greater diversity of conservation designations than almost anywhere else in the UK. The natural history of Gower is like most parts of the British Isles
- inextricably linked to the activities of man across many thousand years. New Naturalist Gower Peninsula uses the evolving landscape & the effect that the associated changes have had on species & habitats as its core. It provides a detailed examination of: the integration of the archaeological & historic landscape with the natural landscape & its associated species; the geological creation of the peninsula; man's influence on the natural environment over the centuries; the coast & channel, including the limestone cliffs, beaches, caves & saltwater marsh; the environmental impact of the Sea Empress oil disaster in 1996, which discharged 72, 000 tonnes of oil into the sea off Gower; & the ongoing conservation of the area & the contribution that naturalists can make. Mullard also looks at notable plants species & the over-wintering bird populations on the estuary, which are of international importance. Professional ecologist & writer Jonathan Mullard specialises in the management of protected areas & has spent a considerable part of his career on the peninsula. The culmination of years of research & rich with the latest information & full colour illustrations, New Naturalist Gower Peninsula is a valuable source of information on this diverse & fascinating area & its natural history.N.99 in the Collins New Naturalist series.
