In this study no less that eighty species of fish have been identified within the confines of the HVMCA. Many of the more common fish were found to be present in large numbers. Several species have been designated as nationally scarce whilst others are nationally rare and receive protection at varying levels. The estuary is obviously an important nursery for several species which are of economic importance. A full list of the fish species present and the protection some of them receive is given in the Appendices Nine species of fish have been recorded as new to the HVMCA.

WATKINS1 Pirrie, D., Power, M.R., Rollinson, G., Cundy, A.B. and Watkins, D.C. 2002. Impact of mining on the sediment geochemistry and minerology of the Helford River, Cornwall. Geoscience in south-west England, 10, 323-328. The geochemistry and mineralogy of the intertidal sediments of the Helford River, Cornwall have been examined to assess the potential impact of mining activity on sediment supply. Cores from Polpenwith and Polwheveral creeks show a pulse in Sn (1000-1100 ppm), Cu (800-900 ppm) and Zn (500-600 ppm) at a depth of 30 cm below the present day sediment surface; As and Pb values are typically low and show little down-core variation (<130 ppm As and <78 ppm Pb). Two cores recovered near Gweek have generally low and invariant down-core geochemical signatures, except for a single sample from the base of Core 2 which shows a sudden increase in Sn to >1800 ppm. In addition, two cores were collected from the mouth of Mawgan Creek. Core 4 shows a low but invariant geochemical signature but Core 3 shows a significant down-core increase in Sn (>1900 ppm Sn), Cu (588 ppm) and Zn (1297 ppm). The heavy mineral assemblage is dominated by cassiterite, chalcopyrite and sphalerite, along with less abundant zircon, monazite, ilmenite, rutile/anatase, sphene, wolframite, barite and rare slag products. Diagenetic pyrite, bornite and Fe oxides also occur.

  • MA14 Policy Development Zone: PDZ5
    Location reference: Helford Management Area reference: MA14 Policy Development Zone: PDZ5 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly SMP2 Final Report Chapter 4 PDZ5 34 February 2011 DISCUSSION AND DETAILED POLICY DEVELOPMENT Adopting a no active intervention policy Helford River along the at Gweek undefended estuary banks meets the wider scale objectives of the Fal & Helford SAC. Some small- scale flooding risks exist at Porth Navas, St Anthony in Meneage. Managed realignment in the Gweek area (excluding Gweek Quay) could provide valuable intertidal habitat creation opportunities. There are numerous historic sites across the undefended parts of the estuary which may potentially be adversely impacted or ultimately lost under a no active intervention approach. Recreational use would generally be unaffected by the plan. Generally it is felt the application of a broad-scale NAI approach will support the unspoilt beauty and tranquility which exists across the whole estuary. Locations where some intervention is necessary are therefore the exception and only in response to localised risks. The designated habitats of the SAC (which includes sandbanks, mudflats and sandflats, large shallow inlets and bays and Atlantic salt meadows) are provided with the best chance to naturally adapt to sea level rise through the NAI approach. Natural topography, sediment availability and changes in the tidal prism will influence exactly how these habitats adapt and over what extent. At Durgan, several listed properties are indicated to be at risk. The settlement is principally owned by the National Trust. The approach here would be not to constrain natural processes, to invoke non-interventional approach and to allow property to be lost over time.

The broad riverscape is enclosed by steep slopes with extensive mature broadleaved woodland which is internationally important Ancient Woodland. The numerous small creeks around the river are enclosed by their steep, well-wooded slopes but have wide-spreading views out over the Helford River from vantage points on the valley sides. Much of the woodland is truly ancient and has been indentified as Upland Oakwood with some Upland Mixed Ashwoods. There are distinct groups of ornamental pine planting on the valley sides, around houses. The coastal areas which flow from each side of the mouth of the Helford both have a narrow rough coastal strip, backed by pastures. The small upland ridges between the creeks support a mix of pastoral and arable farmland (with a network of Cornish hedges with trees) that takes advantage of the sheltered slopes and fertile loamy soils.
