Ynys Enlli, dark sky sanctuary

That this House congratulates all those involved in Ynys Enlli’s designation as a dark sky sanctuary by the International Dark Sky Association, making its skies the darkest in Europe; notes that this designation recognises the unique skies of Ynys Enlli, which is home to a thriving fishery, high nature value farming, and Wales’s oldest bird observatory; acknowledges that the island is part of a growing network of dark skies across Wales, and will be celebrated throughout 2023 with events across North Wales; highlights its unique position of being Wales’s only year-round island based community striving to manage its natural resources for both wildlife and people; and calls for much-needed investment to safeguard its 150 year old heritage buildings for future generations living on Ynys Enlli.
