  • East Anglia Seasearch – 2009 Report
    Seasearch East – 2010 Marine surveys conducted by Seasearch East Rob Spray and Dawn Watson Published March 2011 Seasearch East is grateful for support from: 1 East Anglian Seasearch – 2010 Report 1 Seasearch East in 2010 Despite another year of erratic Easterly winds disturbing the summer calm, we managed to get in some intense periods of diving when the weather was kind. We took our chances when we could and had a week of exceptional visibility off North Norfolk which generated many records and photographs, and helped to spark the now annual media frenzy! Our first record of the year was from a wreck off East Norfolk on the 1st of May and our last was from a chalk drift off Trimingham on 23rd of September. Sea temperature ranged from 9oC to 19oC degrees and dive depth from 1.0 to 33.5m. Several species new (to Seasearch) in East Anglia were recorded; Leopard Spotted goby (Thorogobius ephippiatus), Strawberry anemone (Actinia fragacea), Sagartiogeton laceratus (an anemone), Aeolidia sanguinea (a nudibranch), Stelligera rigida (a sponge), Perophora japonica (a sea squirt) as well as Corkwing and Goldsinny wrasse. Maybe most significant of all was the recording of a whole new habitat – exposed clay – which was densely peppered with previously unrecorded Common piddocks (Pholas dactylus). Plumose anemones were again the most commonly recorded species, followed by the region's signature crustaceans (Shore and Edible crabs and Common lobsters). Velvet Swimming crabs (right) were notable by their absence, the prolonged very cold Spring appeared to have reduced the previously very impressive population to almost zero.

  • Problem Oriented Policing Working in Partnership to Create a Safer
    SAFER HOLIDAY WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP TO CREATE A SAFER HOLIDAY ENVIRONMENT AVON AND SOMERSET CONSTABULARY, PORTISHEAD, ENGLAND, 1999 SUMMARY: The Butlins Family Entertainment Resort, Minehead is a holiday complex standing on a site of 165 acre. It is home to 20 alcohol outlets operating under the umbrella of one Residential On-Licence and over a number of years transposed from a family holiday venue to one that catered for a diverse market. In essence it is a small town without the norms, values and relationships of a traditional community. Every night is a PARTY NIGHT! At the beginning of 1997 there was a coincidental change of local management at both Butlins and the Avon and Somerset Constabulary. Forming an alliance there was a recognition that positive action had to be taken to address the crime problem that existed at the resort predominantly in the categories of burglary, theft, criminal damage, assault, theft of and from motor vehicles and the misuse of drugs. A new beat was created that was co-terminus with the boundaries of the resort and a beat officer selected who possessed the necessary qualities to tackle a long term project and forge ahead if confronted with difficulties. He was empowered and assured the support of the Constabulary in his interaction with Butlins at both operational and strategic levels. Over a period of two years the Constabulary and Butlins worked closely together addressing environmental factors, policies, practices and staff training at the resort that collectively contributed to a 71.5% reduction in crime over that period. Throughout, the SARA model for problem solving was utilised and regularly revisited to generate a series of creative responses that were introduced into the resort.

  • Net Fishing Around Piers Code of Practice Poster
    NET FISHING AROUND PIERS CODE OF PRACTICE Southern IFCA has introduced a new Code of Practice (CoP) for net fishing around piers. The Code prevents the use of fishing nets, except landing and drop nets, from within 200m of nine piers in the Southern IFC District. The piers affected are: • Sandown Pier, Sandown, Isle of Wight; • Ryde Pier Head, Ryde, Isle of Wight; • South Parade Pier, Portsmouth, Hampshire; • Yarmouth Pier, Yarmouth, Isle of Wight; • Boscombe Pier, Bournemouth, Dorset; • Bournemouth Pier, Bournemouth, Dorset; • Swanage Pier, Swanage, Dorset; • Weymouth Stone Pier, Weymouth, Dorset; and • Weymouth Pleasure Pier, Weymouth, Dorset. Visit the ‘All Regulations’ page on the Southern IFCA website www.southern-ifca.gov.uk to view the Code and maps of closure areas. Recreational sea angling is a popular activity in the Southern IFC District and the pier locations in the Code provide important access for participants. These measures aim to balance the different needs of people fishing in the Southern IFC District, in line with the Authority’s duties under the Marine and Coastal Access Act, 2009. The Code was developed as a first alternative to a byelaw, in consultation with sector representatives from the Recreational Angling Sector Group (RASG) and the South Coast Fisherman’s Council (SCFC). This Code of Practice will be reviewed no later than 31st December 2022. Should the code prove ineffective, Southern IFCA will consider the introduction of regulatory measures. If you would like to report information relating to the possible non-compliance of this code to the Authority you can complete the form on our website: www.southern-ifca.gov.uk/contact-us, or call 01202 721373.

  • Cromer's New Year's Day Firework Display 2018
    Cromer’s New Year’s Day Firework Display 2018 All eyes will be on the skies above Cromer Pier at 5pm on 1st January 2018 for the traditional New Year’s Day Firework display. Organisers hope as many people as possible will again come to Cromer for the day – but urge them not to leave it until the last minute. “We’re delighted it’s become such a successful annual event, and with plenty of good vantage points to watch the display, come early, we don’t want anyone to miss it,” says Firework Committee Chairman Jim Bond. “The idea has always been to bring people up to the coast for a breath of fresh air, something to eat and drink, and a fabulous firework display over the sea fired from Cromer Pier at 5pm. "Following on from last year’s postponed event (which went ahead one week later) due to adverse weather conditions, we are looking forward To another impressive display. “We are fortunate to have ‘Titanium Fireworks’ back again. Titanium put on the fantastic London New Year’s Eve display. This year they are looking to make more use of the seaside location, including waterborne pyrotechnics”. The annual display attracts over to 10,000 people into Cromer on New Year’s Day. Director of Titanium Fireworks, Simon Page, said: “We are incredibly proud to be firing the Cromer New Year's day firework display from Cromer Pier, and will be making full use of this unique setting. “We believe our experience on the London Eye, The Forth Road Bridge, Blackpool Pier and a host of stadia roofs will help us to make this display even better by using our digital firing system which allows split second firing from multiple locations.

  • Cromer Crab” Fishery, UK
    Social resilience, place and identity in the small-scale North Norfolk “Cromer Crab” fishery, UK. Carole Sandrine White September 2015 A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the University of East Anglia School of International Development This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. Abstract Fishing once defined many coastal community identities around the British Isles. Over recent decades, these communities have faced the decline of their fishing industry in addition to demographic, environmental, economic change and a changing policy context in coastal areas focused on marine conservation and economic growth. Using a qualitative case study of a small- scale crab fishery, in North Norfolk, famous for its iconic ‘Cromer Crab’, I investigate place identity and attachment and their implications for social resilience. Like many coastal fishing towns, Cromer has become less reliant on fishing and the future of the fishery, central to the town’s identity, appears to be in question. Although the fishing community has been reduced, the remaining Cromer crab fishermen could be considered resilient. I identify the different livelihood strategies fishermen have adopted in order to continue fishing and explore the trade-offs each strategy involves. However, given the significant entry barriers new fishermen face, the future of this fishery appears bleak regardless of the strategy selected.
