Accounting for the Fund The Companies Act 1985 does not apply to all public bodies but the principles that underlie the Act’s accounting and disclosure requirements are of general application: their purpose is to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the body concerned. The Government therefore has decided that the accounts of public bodies should be prepared in a way that conforms as closely as possible with the Act’s requirements and also complies with Accounting Standards where applicable. The accounts are prepared in accordance with accounts directions issued by the Secretary of State for Transport. The Fund’s accounts consolidate the General Lighthouse Authorities’ (GLAs) accounts and comply as appropriate with this policy. The notes to the Bishop Rock Lighthouse accounts contain further information. Section 211(5) of the Merchant Shipping Act 1995 requires the Secretary of State to lay the Fund’s accounts before Parliament.

MCA 5: The Solent Overall cShnaarpaschteort Key Characteristics Description Visual Resource Mapping Location and boundaries This Marine Character Area (MCA) covers the distinctive narrow stretch of sea of the Solent and its adjoining channels (the largest being Southampton Water) and Portsmouth, Pangstone and Chichester Harbours. It stretches from The Needles and Hurst Point in the west, to Foreland and Selsey Bill to the east. Seaward boundaries reflect the navigational conditions and commercial uses of the Solent, and extend to a maximum of approximately 12 kilometres (6.5 nautical miles) offshore. The western boundary takes account of the change in sea and tidal conditions upon entry into the Needles Channel and Hurst Narrows; and in the east the southern extent of the MCA takes in the main deep-water Nab Channel before making landfall at Selsey Bill. Please note that the MCA boundaries represent broad zones of transition (not immediate breaks in character). Natural, visual, cultural and socio- economic relationships between adjacent MCAs play a key role in shaping overall character. Therefore individual MCAs should not be considered in isolation. Overall character The Solent is one of the busiest stretches of water in the UK, both commercially and for inshore recreation. It includes the major ports of Southampton and Portsmouth, which are nationally important hubs for marine transportation and trade.

Statutory & Other Functions of a Public Nature 1.1 Aids to Navigation (AtoN) Provision Trinity House is the General Lighthouse Authority (GLA) for England, Wales, Channel Islands and Gibraltar. Trinity House has responsibility, subject to certain provisions, for the superintendence and management of "all lighthouses, buoys and beacons" throughout its geographical area including "the adjacent seas and islands...." within and beyond territorial waters up to the outer limit of the UK Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). It provides a large number of traditional short-range AtoN complemented by a mix of radio navigation aids for the safety of all mariners engaged in general navigation irrespective of who pays for the service, the size or type of the vessel, her equipment fit, the competence of her crew, or flag. The statutory authority for Trinity House in terms of AtoN is Part VIII of the Merchant Shipping Act (MSA) 1995 as amended by the Marine Navigation Act 2013. There is a separate GLA for Scotland & the Isle of Man (the Northern Lighthouse Board) and another for the whole of Ireland (the Commissioners of Irish Lights). Trinity House currently maintains 66 Lighthouses; 11 Light Vessels / Floats; 450 Buoys, and 8 Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) Reference Stations.

An electronic version should be e-mailed to [email protected] Project title The fate of TBT in spoil and feasibility of remediation to eliminate environmental impact DEFRA project code AE0232 Contractor organisation CEFAS and location Remembrance Avenue Burnham-on-Crouch, Essex. CO0 8HA Total DEFRA project costs £ 210,000 Project start date 01/04/99 Project end date 30/04/02 Executive summary (maximum 2 sides A4) Executive Summary The purpose of this project was to determine impacts of TBT on benthic assemblages, biological harm of paint-derived TBT material, fate of TBT and remediation options for removing TBT in highly contaminated dredged material. The principal findings of the project were: • TBT contamination in sediments is widespread around England and Wales. Some 2-12% of dredged material samples taken over the last decade contained elevated levels thought sufficient to cause widespread environmental impacts if disposed to sea. • TBT in contaminated dredged material was found in the finer fraction (sediment bound) and light fractions (paint particles) the latter occurring in the samples containing the highest TBT levels. • After resuspension of sediments contaminated with TBT, paint flakes settled out with highest TBT concentrations at the surface (0-2 cm). This is likely to occur offshore as well as under estuarine conditions during disturbance events and points to a complex environmental fate for paint material.
