What is the condition of existing mountains, moorland, and heath habitat in land management units, measured against the yardstick set by Common Standards Monitoring?
Summary of the Research Question / Evidence Need:
We have little knowledge of the current health of the ecosystems across much of the Mountains, moorlands and heath resource and must extrapolate from very few samples. A “broad and shallow” approach is needed to complement the “narow and deep” approach of existing terrrestrial monitoring.

What is the condition of existing semi-natural habitat within Enclosed Farmland: hedgerows, species-rich arable land, orchards, wood pasture, semi-improved grassland, veteran trees?
Summary of the Research Question / Evidence Need:
There is limited data from GMEP/ERAMMP on hedgerow condition and semi-improved grasslands. There is no condition data available for the other habitats.

Summary of the Research Question / Evidence Need:
Condition is a basic measure of stocks of natural resources and resilience. Very little is known about grassland condition outside SSSIs.

Summary of the Research Question / Evidence Need:
Condition is a basic measure of stocks of natural resources and resilience. Only a minority of grassland SSSI features have received recent detailed monitoring.

What is the condition of our protected marine features and status of coastal and transitional waters?
Summary of the Research Question / Evidence Need:
Understanding the condition of Welsh waters is a fundamental requirement that ultimately leads to us being able to advise on the management measures required to recover and/or increase biodiversity and resilience. NRW has a marine monitoring programme which covers features of Marine Protected Areas and the coastal and estuarine water bodies under the Water Environment Regulations. Ideally this would be expanded to cover more habitats, species and the wider ecosystem; with increased monitoring in terms of both frequencies and locations. Next steps and progress: Continue with current NRW marine monitoring programme and expand if possible. Potential to establish collaborative monitoring where relevant.
