South Wales Caves
About the Team
Richard Walker and Christine Grosart set up Project Baseline South Wales in 2010. They had been diving in Porth Yr Ogof cave in the Brecon Beacons National Park, South Wales UK, when they were noticing cave dwelling trout, some of which were albino in colour and some were in a transitional change from the usual brown trout to albino. The divers felt that this should be monitored further and the aim of the project is primarily to discover more about these peculiar fish.
