The Strandline Beetle Eurynebria complanata was recently classified as Endangered following a decline that has led to an apparent retreat in its Great Britain range to a few beaches in Carmarthen Bay. Even here, recent counts have indicated that the population might be at a critically low level. The beetle is an indicator of the health of strandline communities, which include a range of rare and scarce species likely to be similarly threatened.


The main aim of this study was to survey sites in South Wales in 2016 in order to determine the current status of E. complanata and inform management of strandline habitats. Repeat visits to key sites were undertaken to assess spatial and temporal changes. Strandline Beetle was found at just four sites, all in Carmarthen Bay, with peak counts in June of 328 adults on Whiteford Burrows, 211 adults on Cefn Sidan, 288 adults on Laugharne-Pendine Burrows and one adult on Broughton Burrows, providing a total Welsh count of 828 beetles.
