As part of the regular monitoring programme of the SAC, I and some volunteers from Cornwall Wildlife Trust (to whom I say a big thank you for all your efforts) came down to the Helford on the good boat EVA on the 17th July to see how the seagrass was getting on and to see if it had spread into the adjacent moorings. Although the weather was not perfect and the visibility not good, the team were able to carry out three transect swims measuring the percentage cover of the plants, makeup of the seabed and were also able to map the edges of the bed. Preliminary analysis of the data show that the seagrass is in good health and that the extent has not changed significantly from the previous survey. However, there is some evidence that the seagrass has spread slightly westwards and isolated clumps can now be found in and around the moorings. I hope that we will be able to repeat this study next and subsequent years and also include some more detailed work on both the health of the seagrass and a more accurate survey of the density and individual plant length of the grass on the Helford.

Description A sheltered deepwater ria on the western side of Falmouth Bay on the south Cornish coast. 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.
