Species
Dyfi River Species
We have unique habitat areas from upland ffridd to wooded hill slopes to salt marsh on the estuary.
As well as the Atlantic salmon, there are lamprey, sea-trout (known locally as sewin), unique coastal plants and woodland lichens, egrets and ospreys and river mouth crustaceans and salt-tolerating plants (halophytes) among the thousands of species the river supports on its journey from hilltops to the sea.
Biodiversity
Our members and supporting organisations frequently monitor of the river. The tree-lined banks of alder and sessile oaks support wildlife but also provide refuge for species in the river itself with sources of food and shade.
Climate
Climate change is impacting not only our wildlife but also our communities. Increasing temperatures mean that the waters can heat up to the point that oxygen levels reduce or algae form so threatening species’ long-term survival.
