Cardiff Bay Wetlands Reserve, Nature reserve on Cardiff Bay northern shore, Wales
The Cardiff Bay Wetlands Reserve spans 8 hectares of marshland, featuring reed beds and aquatic plants that support numerous bird species.
The reserve opened in 2002 after the Cardiff Bay Barrage completion, transforming the former salt marsh into a freshwater habitat for wildlife.
The reserve serves as an educational center where visitors can download the Wetlands Wildlife Explorer to learn about local flora and fauna.
Visitors can access the reserve through a gravel walkway and boardwalk, with a viewing platform extending over the water for bird observation.
The reserve required a 450-meter floating boom installation in 2003 to prevent debris from the River Taff from entering the protected area.
