In this study no less that eighty species of fish have been identified within the confines of the HVMCA. Many of the more common fish were found to be present in large numbers. Several species have been designated as nationally scarce whilst others are nationally rare and receive protection at varying levels. The estuary is obviously an important nursery for several species which are of economic importance. A full list of the fish species present and the protection some of them receive is given in the Appendices Nine species of fish have been recorded as new to the HVMCA.

    CSGRT Annual Report 2020 Who knew we could achieve so much? An extraordinary year Inspiring ambassadors for seals Smashed expectations and targets It’s all change Highs and lows Amazing seal stories World record breakers Phenomenal teamwork COVID19 transformed our charity for the better forever. Annual Report 2020 At CSGRT we described 2018 as a landmark year, 2019 saw us riding a wave of success, which we managed to sustain in 2020 despite COVID19. People We began 2020 with 4 paid rangers. At the start of 2020, our Rangers and activities were funded by The People’s Postcode Lottery (Postcode Local Trust), Heritage Lottery Fund, Heritage Emergency Fund, Natural England, TEVI, LUSH Cosmetics, TESCO Bags of Help, Seal Protection Action Group, Polzeath Marine Conservation Group, Three Bays Wildlife, Animal Friends, Aspects Holidays, Fourth Element, Mungo Lils on the Hill, Rowes Cornish Bakers, The Bowgie Inn, SeaChangers, Waterhaul, The University of Exeter and our incredible volunteer fundraising efforts and donations. However, during 2020, funding ran out and COVID19 made our finances rather precarious. As a result, we ran our first ever Crowdfunder Appeal. Thanks to everyone’s huge generosity and a lot of hard work by our team, we surpassed our target and raised a total of £21963. In 2020, our part time Rangers were: • Amazement and Discovery/Photo ID Ranger (Marion Beaulieu) • Creativity and Activity Ranger (Emily Pollitt) • Retail Ranger (Joe Gray) • Sanctuaries at Sea Ranger (Sarah Millward) • Seal Research Ranger (Katie Bellman) CSGRT Marine Rangers Emily has moved on to pastures new and we have been joined by Joe.
