Dear MARMAMers Natural Resources Wales (a UK Statutory Nature Conservation Body) is requesting tenders for its casework advice framework. For marine mammals (and other lots - eg benthos, ornithology) the main focus, but not exclusively, is on providing expert advice on Environmental Impact Assessments and Habitats Regulation Assessments etc, especially for renewable energy developments. The advice framework will run for four years. The closing date is 21 February 2014.

As of 1 April 2013, the Countryside Council for Wales, Environment Agency Wales and Forestry Commission Wales became Natural Resources Wales/Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru. Ein diben yw sicrhau bod adnoddau naturiol Cymru yn cael eu cynnal, eu gwella a'u defnyddio yn gynaliadwy, yn awr ac yn y dyfodol. Our purpose is to ensure that the natural resources of Wales are sustainably maintained, enhanced and used, now and in the future.
