Tides of the Menai Strait

The Menai Strait is geologically, biologically and culturally important. It is also home to our School of Ocean Sciences.

To celebrate teaching and research excellence at this institution, and the recent opening of the Marine Centre Wales building, a short film was produced in collaboration with CADARN on “The Tides of the Menai Strait”.

Our film shows stunning time-lapse footage of the tides in the Menai Strait over 24 hours. We use animation to show how the tides work – as Sir Issac Newton envisaged them over 300 years ago. Finally, we demonstrate how important the tides are on a global scale, by using a simple laboratory experiment.
