A significant reduction in the number of pebbles at Saundersfoot Beach in West Wales has prompted concern as sea levels continue to rise.
Visitors to a beach in Pembrokeshire have been asked to return its pebbles amid fears over the future of the area's sea defences. The stones were first introduced at Saundersfoot, in the south of the county in West Wales, in the 1970s. But since then the number of pebbles has significantly reduced, while sea levels are continuing to rise. A public meeting has now been called to discuss the concerns.
'I would advise anyone that if you have got stones in properties, or you have in the past, then you're more than welcome to bring them down, put them back on the beach and then I'm sure the residents there will be much appreciative,' he added. 'There is going to have to be some serious questions raised and accounted for going forward and the fact of the matter is they could have to get thousands of tonnes of stone back in certain areas.
