Aberporth MoD Danger Area Pleasure Craft Questionnaires
As part of a programme of continuous improvement, QinetiQ, which operates the Aberporth Range on behalf of the MOD, is conducting a survey to better understand how Cardigan Bay is used for leisure activities.
The information you provide will be used to improve their processes so that they can endeavour to minimise the impact of future Range activity on all pleasure craft owners and users. Please spare a few minutes of your time and answer the brief survey which can be accessed from the top menu bar at www.aberporth.qinetiq.com.
Further information about the firing range is available here..
