An acoustic telemetry array is active since 2019 to track status, habitats, movements and migration of multiple species in Swansea Bay, Carmarthen Bay, rivers Tywi, Tawe, Wye, Usk, Severn, and wider Bristol Channel in UK. Installed and maintained by Swansea University, in collaboration with Natural Resources Wales, Natural England, Environment Agency and Welsh Government.
