ANNEX II: DETAILED ENVIRONMENTAL BASELINE
DRAFT
DRAFT
Baseline Environment
The environmental baseline covered in the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly SMP2 runs from the hard headlands of Hartland Point in North Devon to Rame Head on the south coast of Cornwall and includes the offshore Isles of Scilly, which lie 45km to the west of Land’s End. The Isles of Scilly form an archipelago of six inhabited islands and numerous other small rocky islets (~140 in total). Cornwall includes the Lizard Peninsula, the most southerly point in Britain and Land’s End, the most westerly. The inland boundary of the SMP2 runs from 0.5km -1km depending on soft or hard coastal areas and extends offshore to the 20m depth contour. A general description of the physical environment is provided below.
The north and south coasts have differing characteristics. The north coast is flanked by the Atlantic Ocean, and is exposed to the prevailing south-westerly to north-westerly winds associated with low-pressure weather systems which move in from the Atlantic. The north coast has a wilder nature, with rugged sheer cliffs, steep valleys and a greater number of dunes. There are also many important tourist beaches on the north coast such as those at Bude, St Agnes, St Ives, Perranporth, Porthtowan, Polzeath, and Fistral Beach, Lusty Glaze Beach and Watergate Bay, in Newquay. The north coast has three important river estuaries: The Gannel, the Hayle Estuary, and River Camel, which provides a safe harbour at Padstow and Rock. The south coast, on the English Channel, contains a mixture of sheltered and exposed stretches of coast open to the waves of the Atlantic Ocean. There are two broad estuaries, these are the Carrick Roads and The Helford, which are sheltered from the south-westerly winds and seas. The beaches on this stretch of coastline are generally characterised by coarser sands and shingle interspersed with rocky sections of wave cut platforms, as many are exposed to south-easterly waves and winds. A small number of beaches on the south coast are backed by ‘towans’ or dunes such as near Par, though a greater number of ‘towans’ are present on north coast beaches, such as Godrevy, Penhale, Holywell Bay, and Constantine Bay.
The geology is made up of granite intrusions into surrounding sedimentary rocks making the area historically important for natural resources such as granite, slate, tin, copper and kaolinite. There are also areas of sandstone and shale and the Lizard peninsula is formed from a section of uplifted oceanic crust. The geology combined with the different characteristics of the north and south coast and warmer climate regulated by the Gulf Stream makes Cornwall’s fauna and flora unique and many areas are considered to be of international and national importance for its ecology, geology and landscape. The mild temperate climate means the south and west of the county and Isles of Scilly have rich plant cover. Due to its more exposed nature, the north coast features maritime grassland, heathland, and stunted woodland.
Cornwall’s most notable operational port is Falmouth, while the ports of Penzance, St Ives and Padstow have declined. St Austell is Cornwall's largest coastal town, and a centre of the now declining china clay industry. The towns of Redruth and Camborne together form the largest urban area in Cornwall, with both towns once being significant centres of the tin mining industry. The City of Truro is the capital of the county.
The Water Environment
The following section provides an overview of the water environment associated with the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly SMP2, which takes into consideration water quality (both freshwater and marine) and key recourse activities associated with the water environment.
Annex II 1
Bathing and Shellfish Waters
Bathing water quality is assessed by standards listed in the EC Bathing Waters Directive. The Directive was adopted by the Council of European Communities in 1975 and transposed into law for England and Wales to form Bathing Waters (Classification) Regulations 1991. The Directive is concerned with the quality of bathing waters for the purposes of protecting public health and requires monitoring of microbiological parameters and a small number of physical parameters (e.g. visible oil).
There are 77 identified bathing water sites in the study area (see Figure 1.1). Water quality at the sites ranges from excellent to poor, with the majority of sites achieving excellent status and meeting the strict guideline standards of the Bathing Water Directives in 2008. There has been a small decline in bathing water quality since 2006, mainly due to heavy rainfall. The high summer rainfall causes increased storm overflows from sewers, a rise in diffuse pollution and run-off from farmland. Sites that had a good water quality rating meet the mandatory standards of the Bathing Water Directive. Sites that failed to meet the mandatory standards of the Bathing Water Directive included Seaton, East Looe, Readymoney, Porthluney, and Rock, as identified in Table 1.1.
Table 1.1. 2008 Bathing Waters Failing to Meet Mandatory (imperative) Standard in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly
Council Bathing Water name Caradon Seaton Beach (Cornwall) Caradon East Looe Beach Restormel Readymoney Cove Beach Restormel Porthluney Beach North Cornwall Rock Beach
Designated Shellfish waters are required to meet the standards set in the EC Shellfish Waters Directive and Shellfish Hygiene Directive. Bivalve production areas are classified according to the level of treatment they require prior to their sale from A to C grade, where grade A sites require no pre-treatment and grade C sites require intensive purification.
Of the eight designated shellfish water areas within the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly SMP2 area (see Table 1.2 and Figure 1.2), the majority were classified as Class B in 2008/2009, in which shellfish must undergo moderate purification by relaying in cleaner water for varying lengths of time before marketing (FSA, 2008).

Annex II 4
Surface and Ground Water Quality
The European Water Framework Directive came into force in December 2000 and became part of UK law in December 2003. It gives the Environment Agency an opportunity to plan and deliver a better water environment, focussing on ecology.
By managing water in 11 River Basin Districts, the Water Framework Directive aims to: improve the ecological health of inland and coastal waters and prevent further deterioration, especially by protecting against diffuse pollution in urban and rural areas through better land management; drive wiser, sustainable use of water as a natural resource; create better habitats for wildlife that lives in and around water, for example by improving the chemical quality of water; reduce or phase out discharges, emissions and losses of priority substances and priority hazardous substances; reduce the pollution of groundwater; and contribute to limiting the effects of floods and droughts.
Under the Water Framework Directive (WFD), good water quality status of rivers, lakes, groundwater and coasts is to be achieved for river basin districts in the UK by 2015. For each river basin district a River Basin Management Plan (RBMP) must be developed, which will form the achievement of water quality protection and improvement (Articles 11 and 13). The improvement of water quality of rivers will thus have a major impact on the quality of coastal waters for example, Bathing and Shellfish Waters.
The SMP2 study area lies within the South West River Basin District and comprises 3 waterbodies within this district. Consultation on the draft River Basin Management Plan (RBMP) is currently being undertaken by the Environment Agency. The draft RBMP states that the waterbodies are progressing towards good ecological status and good ecological potential (Environment Agency, 2008).
Surface water bodies are grouped into different types according to their physical and chemical characteristics. The main estuaries found in Cornwall are classified according to Table 1.3 and Figure 1.3.

The chemical water status of the Cornish coastal areas is generally good with only the Fal Estuary and coastal area of Carrick Roads failing to achieve good status Figure 1.4. Many of the coastal areas including those to the east of the Lizard Peninsula and those of the Isles of Scilly do not require assessment. The ecological status of the Fal, Helford and Hayle Estuaries have been assessed as moderate, see Figure 1.5, with much of the western coastal waters not assessed, whilst those to the east achieving good ecological status.
For the South West River Basin District, in particular the catchments that encompass the study area, the current water quality based on chemical data of the associated rivers range between moderate to high, predicted changes by 2015 range between moderate to good.
There are no main rivers in the study area that had bad ecological quality, with the majority classed as either moderate or good (Environment Agency, 2009).
Groundwater systems in the region have been classified as currently having a poor chemical status (Environment Agency, 2008).
Diffuse Pollution
Diffuse pollution to groundwater, surface water and coastal water comes from many sources, which are generally very small individual sources that occur across a large area. Thus they are seen to individually not affect water quality but collectively they can have significant effects on water quality and subsequent indirect to biodiversity, and human beings. Diffuse pollution can arise from historic and present day land uses and activities, in both agricultural and urban areas.

Annex II 8
Potential sources of diffuse pollution relevant to the Cornwall and Isle of Scilly SMP2 include: Faecal matter and pathogens from livestock and from overloaded and badly connected drainage systems; Soil particles from arable and livestock farming, upland erosion, urban areas and construction and demolition sites; Pesticides and biocides from industrial, municipal and agricultural use, poor storage and handling, and run-off; Organic wastes (slurries, silage liquor, surplus crops, sewage sludge and industrial wastes) that are poorly stored or disposed of and spread to land; Oil and hydrocarbons, car maintenance, disposal of waste oils, spills from storage and handling, road and industrial run-off; Chlorinated solvents from industrial areas where the use of solvents is ubiquitous; and Metals, including iron, acidifying pollutants and chemicals from atmospheric deposition, abandoned mines, industrial processes etc.
Resource Use
Cornwall’s coast represents a major resource. Many aspects of Cornwall’s economy are based on its maritime resources (CCC, 2004). This includes its fish stocks and the availability of naturally occurring deep-water harbours, together with the associated range of economic activities serving fishing and commercial port activities, as well as the very significant leisure and tourism sectors.
The coastline and further offshore are also being developed for its renewable energy resources, as evident in the Wave Hub project located north of Hayle. Cornwall’s minerals and mining industry also makes a significant contribution to its economy, though the historic economic value was much greater than that today. The industry is dominated by china clay extraction of a scale of national significance and directly employs approximately 3,500 people. A number of Ministry of Defence (MoD) sites are also established throughout the region and around the coastline.
Coastal Geomorphology
The following section provides an overview of the geomorphology of the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly SMP2, in particular the morphology associated with the cliffs along the coastline, wave climate and coastal sediment processes.
The geomorphology and general shape of the SMP coastline is characterised by hard, craggy cliffs, resistant headlands, small and medium sized bays containing wide sandy beaches, rocky coves containing smaller pocket beaches formed from sand, gravel and cobbles, large areas of both relic and mobile dunes (locally often referred to as ‘towans’) and several examples of drowned river valleys, such as the Helford river system (Figure 1.6) and the Camel Estuary. Many of the smaller bays and coves around the coastline coincide with minor faults in the bedrock geology.
Annex II 9

Cornwall’s south coast from Rame Head to Penlee Point is largely composed of interbedded mudstones and pebbly sandstone, together with some minor beds of limestone, conglomerate and igneous rock (Futurecoast, 2002). The exceptions to this are the Lizard Peninsula and the Lands End Peninsula. The Lizard Peninsula is composed of hard and highly metamorphic and igneous rocks of the Lizard series. The Lands End Peninsula is composed from granite, as is St Michael’s Mount, located in Mounts Bay. Mounts Bay itself is formed mostly from Devonian slates.
Headlands along the south coast are generally present due to harder bands of rock occurring in the Dartmouth Slates and Meadfoot Beds, and also due to the occasional presence of harder sedimentary rocks (e.g. St Austell Bay) and Dolerite (e.g. Black Head).
The Isles of Scilly are located to the south-west of Lands End and separated geographically from mainland Cornwall by approximately 40km of open sea. Late Carboniferous wrench faulting running 155 degrees to 335 degrees around 10km offshore of Lands End (BGS, 1990) also separates them geologically from the mainland.
The Islands are a geographically defined archipelago. The Islands themselves are a result of the weathering of a granite batholith (an intrusion of the Devonian deposits from around 270 million years ago), which rises from the sea floor at a depth of around 70 metres to 50m AOD on St Mary’s. The single rock type has generally produced a uniform morphology, although there is localised variation within the islands comprising resistant headlands, small sheltered bays, sandy pocket beaches and accumulations of wind blown sand. There are superficial deposits of unconsolidated head material, (locally known as ‘ram’) overlying the granite on most of the Islands. Around the shoreline, there are commonly occurring low cliffs (2-3m high) formed from the ram. Coastal processes and weathering easily erode this unconsolidated material and this helps to form low vertical cliff faces around many of the coves and beaches (Figure 1.7).
Annex II 10
Figure 1.7 Low Vertical Cliffs formed from Ram at Looe Beach, St Mary`s
Cornwall’s north coast is formed from predominantly hard resistant rock. Granite dominates the coastline from Lands End to St Ives. The bedrock of St Ives Bay is formed from Devonian slates. As far north as Boscastle, the coastal geology continues to be composed of silty and sandy slates, mudstones, sandstones (with occasional igneous and limestone rocks present). From Godrevy Point to St Agnes Head, many of the small bays and coves have been eroded from the Gramscatho Beds (slates). St Agnes Head itself is formed from silty and sandy slates, whilst just to the north, Cligga Head is formed from an outcrop of granite. From Boscastle to Hartland Point, Carboniferous mudstones and sandstones dominate the coastline.
The coastline from Lands End to St Ives is indented with occasional small coves and typified by high rugged cliffs of weathered granite with very little intertidal area. One large expanse of sandy beach occurs at Whitesand Bay, which is located between Lands End and Cape Cornwall – the beaches of Sennen Cove and Gwenvor are the most westerly on mainland Britain.
St Ives Bay is a deeply concave bay, with a wide sandy beach some 5km in length backed by wind blow sand accumulations – the ‘towans’. Godrevy Point to Hartland Point is then characterised by small bays and coves (Figure 1.8), high cliffs, rocky outcrops and long stretches of exposed westerly or north-westerly facing wide, sandy beaches. There are also numerous areas with extensive sand dunes, such as Penhale, Holywell Bay and Constantine Bay.

Wave Climate
The coast of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly experiences one of the highest energy wave climates in the UK, due to its extreme westerly mainland and (offshore) location and its predominantly south-west, west and north-westerly facing shorelines. In common with other high wave energy and hard geology environments in the UK, such as south-west Wales, the west coast of Ireland and the west coast of Scotland, the wave climate has been extremely influential in shaping a rugged coastline from the resistant geology. Therefore the consideration and understanding of waves and the energy they deliver to the coast, is essential in undertaking an effective review of the SMP.
The wave climate is very seasonal. Although large waves can occur at any time during the year, the autumn, winter and late spring period (October to April) generally experiences a much more energetic wave climate than the late spring and summer period. During the winter months the North Atlantic produces waves more consistently than any other ocean and much of that energy reaches the west coast of Britain.
Much of the wave energy reaching the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly coasts is in the form of swell. Swell waves are generated great distances away in the North Atlantic by low- pressure systems and lose very little energy even after travelling thousands of miles. Swell waves tend to be different from locally generated ‘wind waves’ and storm waves by having longer wave periods, longer wave lengths and flatter crests. They present a more ‘orderly’ appearance of evenly spaced and lined up waves, giving the impression of a more ‘organised’ sea.
Annex II 12
Wind waves are generated by local weather systems acting upon the sea surface local to the coastline, generally within a few hundred miles. They tend to have short wave periods, steeper faces and appear less organised than swell. These waves are usually associated with any low-pressure system sitting close to or over the coast.
In reality, and particularly during winter storm events, the wave climate around Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly is often made up of a combination of swell and wind waves. This can create a very ‘confused’ sea, with various angles of wave approach and waves of varying steepness impacting upon shorelines and defences (Figure 1.9).
Figure 1.9 Stormy Winter Waves at Mullion, South Coast
The south coast of Cornwall receives much of its wave energy from the Atlantic, in the form of swell waves. The dominant wave direction is from the south-west to west (2250 -2700). Although the Lands End Peninsula provides protection to the South coast from most of west and north-west wave energy, large swell waves originating from these directions will refract around the Lands End Peninsula, delivering waves to the south-westerly facing beaches of Mounts Bay, the Lizard and south-east Cornwall.
The annual 10% exceedance significant wave height is 1.5m – 2.0m for the south coast, east of Lizard Point. The south coast to the West of Lizard Point receives slightly more wave energy with a 2.0m – 2.5m annual 10% exceedance. The high swell component on the south coast is important in maintaining beach levels (swell waves tend to transport sand onshore and build-up the beaches during ‘calm’ conditions).
Despite the dominant westerly wave direction, there is a significant east, south-east and south component to the wave climate on the south coast of Cornwall. Large wind waves can be generated by strong east and south-east winds blowing over the English Channel.
Annex II 13
There is significant vulnerability to waves from these directions along the western part of Mounts Bay, the east side of the Lizard Peninsula, the western part of St Austell Bay and the Looe area. The coastline facing east and south-east tends to have narrower beaches and intertidal area and is therefore less well adapted to absorbing high wave energy events than the westerly facing areas.
Figure 1.10 displays the wave climate recorded for the Penzance area, during the period 2007 to 2009, by the waverider buoy deployed by the South West Coastal Monitoring Programme. Although this is a relatively ‘young’ time series, the seasonal trends, particularly relating to the late winter months are already clear.

The Isles of Scilly are extremely exposed to waves from all directions. Although the dominant waves are westerly Atlantic swells, significant wave energy is also received from the east and south-east. As with the south coast of Cornwall, some of the more vulnerable areas of the Islands are exposed to waves from the east and south-east. Waves from all directions are responsible for driving the coastal processes that shape the Islands.
The dominant waves on north coast of Cornwall are west to north-westerly swell waves (approaching from 2700 – 3150). It has a lesser exposure to waves from the south-west; however, large swell waves from the south to southwest will refract around the Lands End Peninsula and reach the most westerly facing beaches (with reduced energy).
The north coast differs most significantly from the south coast of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly in that there is virtually no exposure and vulnerability to easterly and south-easterly waves and storms. As with the south coast, the high swell component of the north Cornish coasts’ wave climate contributes significantly to the maintenance of sand levels observed on most of the beaches.

Figure 1.11 displays the wave climate (significant wave heights) recorded for Perranporth, during the period 2006 to 2009, by the waverider buoy deployed by the South West Coastal Monitoring Programme. Although this is also a relatively young time series, the seasonal trends can be seen, although particularly large wave heights associated with events during December and March give the data a slightly unorganised appearance.

Tides
Mean tidal ranges for the SMP coast do not vary greatly around the coast. Examples are 3.5m at Rame Head, 5m at Lands End and 4.4m at Perranporth (Admiralty).
It is generally thought that tides and tidal currents are less important than wave energy in driving erosion and transport of sediments along both the south and north coasts of Cornwall (Futurecoast, 2002).
Tidal current velocities are low in most areas, generally not exceeding 0.75 m/s. Around some of the headlands, tidal current velocities can locally exceed 1.0 m/s (Futurecoast, 2002), and on Scilly accelerated tidal current velocities can occur in the narrows between the islands. Within some of the larger bays, tidal current velocities can be as low as 0.2m/s.
Storm surges can temporarily raise the sea surface and enhance tide levels, due to low atmospheric pressure and strong winds, most notable when they coincide with high spring tides. The occurrence of these events may be altered in the future by changes in storminess (the number, location or strength of storms) and rising sea level. However, UKCIP (2002) states that there is currently no evidence from the long-term tide gauge record at Newlyn for any long-term increase in storm surge statistics.

Sediment Sources
Offshore sediment deposits along the south coast of Cornwall are typically thin, often less than a metre deep, with a lack of historical or relic material from previous glacial periods (Halcrow 1998). There are exceptions – Mounts Bay has a more generous covering of head material and tends to act a sediment sink. The north coast tends to have a more significant supply of relic material derived from the Celtic Sea but as the British Geological survey notes, sediments generally occur as extensive sheets of less than 1 metre thickness, with thicker sediment deposits occurring as sand banks and ridges.
Sediment is (or has been historically) provided to the shoreline of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly in a number of ways:
