  • Lizard Geology Field Trip

    Lizard Geology Field Trip

    Malvern U3A Geology Group LIZARD FIELD TRIP Led by Dr Nick Chidlaw 11th to 14th April 2013 The origin of the Lizard Complex The Lizard consists of oceanic components that have been thrust faulted (obducted) over younger rocks. The context would have been a small rift basin similar to the Red Sea or Gulf of California and was formed at the same time as the development of the SW England passive margin during the Early Devonian. This was terminated by the onset of convergence between two plates with partial ‘obduction’ achieved by the Upper Devonian. The Lizard now contains a suite of rocks from the upper surface consisting of sediments, and below them pillow lavas, sheeted dykes and gabbros merging into layered gabbro followed by ultrabasic rocks of peridotite representing the crust down to, and including, the mantle. Such sequences of rocks are known as an ophiolite complex and the Lizard is one of the best examples in Britain.

  • Just a Balloon Report Jan 2017

    Just a Balloon Report Jan 2017

    Just a Balloon BALLOON DEBRIS ON CORNISH BEACHES Cornish Plastic Pollution Coalition | January 2017 BACKGROUND This report has been compiled by the Cornish Plastic Pollution Coalition (CPPC), a sub-group of the Your Shore Network (set up and supported by Cornwall Wildlife Trust). The aim of the evidence presented here is to assist Cornwall Council’s Environment Service with the pursuit of a Public Spaces Protection Order preventing Balloon and Chinese Lantern releases in the Duchy. METHODOLOGY During the time period July to December 2016, evidence relating to balloon debris found on Cornish beaches was collected by the CPPC. This evidence came directly to the CPPC from members (voluntary groups and individuals) who took part in beach-cleans or litter-picks, and was accepted in a variety of formats:- − Physical balloon debris (latex, mylar, cords & strings, plastic ends/sticks) − Photographs − Numerical data − E mails − Phone calls/text messages − Social media posts & direct messages Each piece of separate balloon debris was logged, but no ‘double-counting’ took place i.e. if a balloon was found still attached to its cord, or plastic end, it was recorded as a single piece of debris. PAGE 1 RESULTS During the six month reporting period balloon debris was found and recorded during beach cleans at 39 locations across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly shown here:- Cornwall has an extensive network of volunteer beach cleaners and beach cleaning groups. Many of these are active on a weekly or even daily basis, and so some of the locations were cleaned on more than one occasion during the period, whilst others only once.

It makes free-standing statutory proposals for this part of the stretch, and seeks approval for them by the Secretary of State in their own right under section 52 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. 4.1.3 The report explains how we propose to implement the England Coast Path (“the trail”) on this part of the stretch, and details the likely consequences in terms of the wider ‘Coastal Margin’ that will be created if our proposals are approved by the Secretary of State. Our report also sets out: any proposals we think are necessary for restricting or excluding coastal access rights to address particular issues, in line with the powers in the legislation; and any proposed powers for the trail to be capable of being relocated on particular sections (“roll- back”), if this proves necessary in the future because of coastal change.

Penzance, West Cornwall FREEHOLD At the head of the Cot Valley, a short walk to the cove and coast path, an extremely attractive double fronted detached, 4 bedroomed, former farmhouse, sympathetically restored in recent years, standing in extensive grounds of about ½ an acre including garaging and several granite barns. A very private home between the long sandy beach at Sennen and the magnificent Cape Cornwall headland, just a short drive from the facilities at St Just and Penzance. 2 Ref: LCAA7254 SUMMARY OF ACCOMMODATION Ground Floor: entrance hall, sitting room, lounge, dining room, kitchen. First Floor: galleried landing, 4 bedrooms, large bathroom. Outside: gated driveway parking and double garage. Various granite barns with potential. Beautiful long established garden with orchard, vegetable garden and various terraces. In all, about ½ an acre. DESCRIPTION Kelynack Manor Farmhouse is perfectly located at the head of the Cot Valley which descends down to a picturesque boulder strewn cove and the South West Coast Path, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The house enjoys great privacy within its extensive gardens which are dotted with historic outbuildings. The area is steeped in history with the manor of Kelynack mentioned in the Domesday Book and there is much history around the grounds including a very well preserved forge in one of the outbuildings. The house itself is extremely attractive with the south west facing principal façade being of granite double fronted appearance. It is made all the more beautiful as the roof was replaced about 14 years ago, the walls were repointed and bespoke double glazed sash windows were fitted throughout that perfectly match the character of the building.

    Mapping Ecosystem Services for Marine Planning: a UK Case Study

    resources Article Mapping Ecosystem Services for Marine Planning: A UK Case Study Emmanouil Tyllianakis 1,* , Lenka Fronkova 1, Paulette Posen 2 , Tiziana Luisetti 1 and Stephen Mangi Chai 3 1 Centre for Environment, Fisheries & Aquaculture Science, Pakefield Road, Lowestoft NR33 0HT, UK 2 Centre for Environment, Fisheries & Aquaculture Science, Barrack Rd, Weymouth DT4 8UB, UK 3 MRAG, 18 Queen Street, London W1J 5PN, UK * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 16 March 2020; Accepted: 9 April 2020; Published: 13 April 2020 Abstract: This study presents an ecosystem-services-mapping tool that calculates the monetary value of several ecosystem services (ES) provided from an area comprising both MPAs (Marine Protected Areas) and non-managed areas. Findings in the UK South West Marine Management Organisation (MMO) Plan Area show that different MPAs yield high value estimates and that activities are grouped in certain areas, with the Severn Estuary and surrounding Site(s) of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) attracting the most recreational anglers, despite having lower water quality. This can be explained by increased nutrient levels, which enhance biological activity and yet do not cause oxygen depletion. The yearly value of the ecosystem service of carbon sequestration and storage in the area is estimated between £16 and £62 thousand. Proximity to large urban areas and shallow waters appear to be the most appealing factors for anglers, while proximity with France can be associated with the high fishing effort in the southwest of the study area. We show that the use of a tool integrating a willingness-to-pay function with high spatial resolution layers and associated monetary values can be used for short-term marine spatial planning and management.
