Abstract

The distribution and seasonal succession of plankton in Milford Haven (Pembrokeshire) is described, in an attempt to detect changes which may have occurred as a result of pollution following the establishment of a major oil port in the estuary. Several species have disappeared or declined since 1960, although replacement species have appeared, and the abundance of plankton in the Haven has not diminished. Changes which have occurred are no greater than might have been produced by natural environmental change and population dynamics.
