HELFORD Voluntary Marine Conservation Area Newsletter No
HELFORD Voluntary Marine Conservation Area Newsletter No. 36 Spring 2008 Visitors to Constantine Choughs © RSPB In little more than 10 years Little Egrets have become well-established, with hundreds of nesting pairs nationwide. The Choughs will take a little longer, but have already raised 32 young on the Lizard peninsula in the first six years – a success rate none of us would have dared to expect. So, for our next trick…. the Cattle Egret? Since November there has been an unprecedented Little egret © D Chapman influx to our shores of these small, warm-weather herons. Once upon a time – a year or two ago, say! – Are we heading for a happy hat-trick of rarities in this the chance of seeing even a single Cattle Egret would corner of Cornwall – a third breeding bird success fetch out every battalion of the Twitchers’ Army. But story? now…. with more than 30 of these beautiful birds in Cornwall quietly feeding all the way from Bude In the last few years we have seen the arrival in or to Buryan, the Cattle Egret-shaped future must look near the Helford of Little Egrets, first to feed and promising. shelter and now to nest; and the re-arrival after more than 50 years’ absence of the county’s totemic Cattle Egrets are easy to differentiate from those Little Chough. Egrets already familiar along our muddy foreshores: Aim: To safeguard the marine life of the Helford River by any appropriate means within its status as a Voluntary Marine Conservation Area, to increase the diversity of its intertidal community and raise awareness of its marine interest and importance. -
Walks Inland
Round Walks Inland Tregoss Crossing, Belowda Beacon and Castle-an-Dinas 6.30 miles Page 1 **************************************************************************************** Start from the small car park on the old A30 near Tregoss railway level crossing at 96074/60981. Tregoss Crossing Car Park to Belowda – 0.85 miles Set off slightly N of E on the path alongside the old A30. After 135 yards go R and L on a properly made path, slightly N of E, through a horse stile and continue with hedge and old A30 to your L and scrub and the Newquay to Par railway to your R. At 580 yards, at 96592/61034, with a kissing gate to a path to Tregoss to your R, go L across a small wooden bridge over a stream. Cross the old A30 with care to a Public Footpath sign and 4 steps down to a fairly high wooden stile (beware barbed wire) to marshy moorland. An obvious (most of the way) path crosses this stretch of marshy moorland, initially overall roughly NNE, then overall roughly N, dabs of yellow paint generally marking the way. This path is classified by Cornwall Council as ‘silver’ but actually merits a rating of less then bronze. At 625 yards cross a tiny clapper bridge, then boggy tussocks for a short way. At 655 yards you are veering slightly away from a barbed wire fence to your R. At 695 yards cross another small clapper with an iron railing to more boggy ground. Continue to a low granite stile leading to wooden duck-boards to some slightly firmer ground. -

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. 2.1.3 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. -

Natural England Board Meeting
Natural England Board Meeting Agenda 1 November 2017 Natural England, 1st Floor Paper Lead/s Unex House, Peterborough PE1 1NG Number 15:00 Mid Cornwall Moors SSSI confirmation NEB PU Alan Law, Chief Strategy and Reform of notification 7401 Officer CLOSE 1 Natural England Board Meeting: 74 Date: 1 November 2017 Paper number: NEBPU 74 01 Title: Mid Cornwall Moors Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) – confirmation of notification Lead/s: Alan Law, Chief Strategy and Reform Officer/Wesley Smyth, Devon, Cornwall & Isles of Scilly Area Manager 1 Purpose 1.1 The purpose of this paper is to seek approval to confirm the notification of Mid Cornwall Moors SSSI. The Natural England Board confirmation report is attached at Annex 1. 2 Recommendation 2.1 The Board is asked to: • approve confirmation of the notification of Mid Cornwall Moors SSSI with modifications to the boundary (to remove 10 areas of land totalling 3.83 ha) and the citation. The recommended confirmed area of the SSSI is 1,653.27 ha. The documents recommended for confirmation are at section 3 of Annex 1. 3 Report 3.1 Background 3.1.1 Mid Cornwall Moors SSSI was notified on 23 February 2017 under section 28C of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. On the same day, notices were served under section 28D of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 proposing to remove the SSSI notifications (de-notification) from parts of the previously notified Breney Common SSSI, Goss and Tregoss Moors SSSI and Red Moor SSSI. There are no unresolved objections to the de-notification proposals so these will be approved for confirmation by the Director of Strategy Implementation acting under delegated authority. -

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.
