O Dan y Dŵr - Hidden Seascapes of Wales

About the project

O Dan y Dŵr - Beneath the Water, in English - provides the viewer with unique and exciting insights into the marine environment off our coast which have been produced alongside research taking place at one of the UK's top Marine Sciences centres.

  • Learn about new aspects of scientific research from the SEACAMS2 project at Bangor University's School of Ocean Sciences.
  • View exclusive images and innovative data obtained from our marine environment collected by scientists working on a range of innovative R&D projects supporting the marine renewable energy sector in Wales.
  • Acoustic data, sonar and camera imagery show the effects of geological, biological and physical processes off the coast of Wales which due to fast tidal currents, relatively deep water and limited visibility have never been seen this way before.
  • Understand how acoustic data, sonar and camera imagery show the effects of geological, biological and physical processes off the coast of Wales which due to fast tidal currents, relatively deep water and limited visibility have never been seen in this way before.
The featured 'false-colour' depth-based images have been generated by processing multibeam sonar data collected by a small team of Menai Bridge based scientists and technicians using the Research Vessel Prince Madog and inshore survey vessel Macoma.
