=============

This is now by far the most substantial source of information on the West Wales submerged forest, incorporating (with many thanks) valuable photos and observations from many contributors.

The resource is free for the use of others, and the URLs of relevant pages can be cited as references where appropriate.  We will appreciate citations, and please remember that if photos are reproduced, it is good practice to cite the photographers (where known) by name.  They should be approached directly if higher resolution images are needed.
