Estuary Profile. Menai Strait. N. Wales
- Summary
- The Menai Strait is the channel separating Anglesey from mainland North Wales. It is subjected to strong tidal streams from both ends which bring both advantages are the constant replenishment of nutrient rich constant-salinity sea water and the disadvantages are the tidal scour, especially at the North East end. Elsewhere there are sheltered areas suitable for shellfish growing. There is a little industrial waste discharged into the Strait and there are plans to improve the raw sewage treatment.
