    Translocating Isle of Man Cabbage Coincya Monensis Ssp

    Conservation Evidence (2012) 9, 67-71 www.conservationevidence.com Translocating Isle of Man cabbage Coincya monensis ssp. monensis in the sand-dunes of the Sefton coast, Merseyside, UK Philip H. Smith1* & Patricia A. Lockwood2 19 Hayward Court, Watchyard Lane, Formby, Liverpool L37 3QP 213 Stanley Road, Formby, Liverpool L37 7AN *Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected] SUMMARY This paper describes the results of a translocation rescue of the British endemic Isle of Man cabbage Coincya monensis ssp. monensis from a sand-dune ridge at Crosby, Merseyside, which was about to be excavated as a source of sand for a coastal protection scheme at nearby Hightown. Using methods developed during a 1992 translocation, over eight hundred 1st year plants, together with seed-pods, were moved by volunteers to two protected receptor sites at Crosby and Birkdale in August 2011. Monitoring the following summer located small surviving populations at the receptor sites but mortality of transplants appeared to be over 90%, seed germination and establishment contributing most individuals. Low success at Crosby seemed partly attributable to winter sand-blow and heavy public pressure, while vegetation overgrowth may have been an adverse factor at Birkdale. An unexpected finding was that the original Crosby colony survived the removal of most of its habitat, about 1300 plants being counted in 2012 on the levelled dune area. More than half were small seedlings, presumably derived from buried seed. Also, 234 Isle of Man cabbage plants were discovered on the new coastal defence bund at Hightown, having arisen from propagules transported from Crosby. Other known Sefton duneland colonies at Southport Marine Lake and Blundellsands were also monitored, the former having apparently declined to extinction.

    Merseyside Conurbation Area Profile: Supporting Documents

    National Character 58: Merseyside Conurbation Area profile: Supporting documents www.naturalengland.org.uk 1 National Character 58: Merseyside Conurbation Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper1, Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention3, we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future. 1 The Natural Choice: Securing the Value of Nature, Defra NCA profiles are working documents which draw on current evidence and (2011; URL: www.official-documents.gov.uk/document/cm80/8082/8082.pdf) 2 knowledge.

  • Crosby Coastal Park Consultation. Joint Response

    Crosby Coastal Park Consultation. Joint Response

    Crosby Coastal Park Vision: A Joint Response by local community groups representing a significant number of people who live near the Coastal Park.1 Foreword This response to the consultation process has been compiled by community based groups and individuals who represent people who work in or live adjacent to Crosby Coastal Park. We share a very strong commitment to the area and a desire to ensure that any changes and developments both protect and enhance the incredible value of the Park. In presenting this response we reflect the tension inherent in this exercise— protection versus development. We represent local residents, many of whom are wary of change and development, and who see protection and preservation of the area as the priority. We also represent people in the area who want to encourage its regeneration through a significant promotion of the visitor economy. By presenting this joint response we believe we have attempted to bridge the divide between protection and development. We believe the intrinsic value of the Park can by protected if the regeneration of the area is not imposed but managed appropriately with full community engagement and support. We support the right developments of the best quality in the most appropriate locations. We have one key question about this process, what will happen to the Vision when, after consultation closes, it is revised and finally published? What is the status of the Vision and what difference will it make? It is easier to be a critic than an artist. It is easier to criticise the Vision than to create one.

    Art in Liverpool

    Art in Liverpool BY SCARLETT An Introduction • Liverpool has a rich wealth of art throughout the city. These can be seen in various forms such as paintings, sculptures and textiles. This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-SA Art Galleries in Liverpool There are many Art galleries in Liverpool, some are listed below; • Walker Art Gallery • World Museum • Tate Liverpool • Museum of Liverpool • Maritime Museum • Fact This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-SA Lambanana’s • Superlambanana is a bright yellow sculpture in Liverpool. Weighing almost 8 tonnes and standing at 5.2 metres tall, it is intended to be a cross between a banana and a lamb and was designed by New York City-based Japanese artist Taro Chiezo. It currently stands on Tithebarn Street, outside the LJMU, having previously been located near the Albert Dock. • Chiezo himself only created a four-inch model, while the full-size replica was made by local artists Andy Small, Julian Taylor, Tommy Reason, and Ray Stokes. Developed for the 1998 ArtTransPennine Exhibition, the sculpture is both a comment on the dangers of genetic and is heavily influenced by the history of Liverpool: historically, both sheep and bananas were common cargos in the city's docks. • In 2008, as part of Liverpool's year-long position as the European Capital of Culture, 125 individual miniature replicas were created.
