  • Iii. Salinity and Temperature Conditions in the Lower Estuary
    529 THE ECOLOGY OF THE TAMAR ESTUARY III. SALINITY AND TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS IN THE LOWER ESTUARY By A. Milne, M.A., B.Sc. Natural History Department, University of Aberdeen (Text-figs. 1-5) CONTENTS PAGE Salinity Conditions in a Cross-section of the Estuary . 529 Seasonal Surface Variations in Salinity . 534 Rainfall and Salinity . 537 Other Surface and Bottom Records of Salinity . 538 Temperature of the Surface Waters . 540 Hydrogen-Ion Concentration . 541 Summary . 542 References. 542 In the Tees Survey (Alexander, Southgate & Bassindale, 1935) the genera! salinity conditions of the Tees Estuary have been clearly described, and it was suggested that conditions in the Tamar might be somewhat similar. Observations during 1936-37 confirm this similarity. Here, therefore, it is only necessary to discuss those data which will give some idea of the actual salinity fluctuations (rate of change as well as magnitude) affecting the fauna and flora of the section of the Tamar Estuary now considered in these papers. The Tees Survey gives maximum, minimum, and average salinities, but such data are not the only aspects to be considered from the point of view of salinity effects on organisms, for it is well known that some aquatic animals can be acclimatized to almost any salinity from above that of sea water down to fresh water, provided that the change is brought. about gradually. The actual range of salinity may not be so important as rate of change. SALINITY CONDITIONS IN A CROSS-SECTION OF THE ESTUARY In the Tees Estuary (1935, p. 76) "The salinity variation to which an organism is subjected depends, therefore, on the position in the intertidal area at which the species normally lives.

  • The Lees of Quethiock Cornwall Their Family History from Ancient Times
    THE LEES OF QUETHIOCK CORNWALL THEIR FAMILY HISTORY FROM ANCIENT TIMES "Brave men have lived before Agamemnon, lots of them. But on all of them - eternal night lies heavy, for they left no records behind. (`ODES` Horace 65-8BC) This is the story of those who did This is the story of my ancestors, the Lee family, who have left records behind and from which the line can be traced from Alexander and Thomas born 1994 and 1990 respectively, back to John of Legh, alive in 1433, and Richard de Leye, alive in 1327. John and Richard lived at, and took their surname from Legh, a pre-Norman settlement in Cornwall recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086. Legh is situated in the present parish of Quethiock, some 5 miles west of the River Tamar and 5 miles east of Liskeard, just in the southeast corner of Cornwall. To uncover the history took ten and more years of research. So what stimulated me to commence? In 1986 I watched a television programme on early portraiture. It was explained that during the time of the Roman Empire (146BC-410AD) it was fashionable to have a statue carved of oneself together with ones father and grandfather. To illustrate this a statue from the 1st century AD was shown; I was astounded to note that it bore a likeness to my family and in particular to my brother, David Henry Lee. I immediately commented on this to my wife, Brenda, who replied `No, it is more like you`. From that moment the question lay in my mind `I look like a Roman from 2000 years ago; I have the surname of Lee which is derived from a Saxon-German word meaning pasture; my father`s family were known to have come from Cornwall and so presumably I have West Welsh Celtic blood; my mother claimed her family came from Devon and I was born in Devonport on the borders of Devon and Cornwall; so who am I? Cornwall over the millenniums had been invaded by 6 or so groups of different people; Ancient British (7000BC), Celts (700BC-63AD), Danes (800AD), Romans (63-401AD), Saxons (447-1066AD), Normans (1066).

  • Bounded by Heritage and the Tamar: Cornwall As 'Almost an Island'
    Island Studies Journal, 15(1), 2020, 223-236 Bounded by heritage and the Tamar: Cornwall as ‘almost an island’ Philip Hayward University of Technology Sydney, Australia [email protected] (corresponding author) Christian Fleury University of Caen Normandy, France [email protected] Abstract: This article considers the manner in which the English county of Cornwall has been imagined and represented as an island in various contemporary contexts, drawing on the particular geographical insularity of the peninsular county and distinct aspects of its cultural heritage. It outlines the manner in which this rhetorical islandness has been deployed for tourism promotion and political purposes, discusses the value of such imagination for agencies promoting Cornwall as a distinct entity and deploys these discussions to a consideration of ‘almost- islandness’ within the framework of an expanded Island Studies field. Keywords: almost islands, Cornwall, Devon, islands, Lizard Peninsula, Tamar https://doi.org/10.24043/isj.98 • Received May 2019, accepted July 2019 © 2020—Institute of Island Studies, University of Prince Edward Island, Canada. Introduction Over the last decade Island Studies has both consolidated and diversified. Island Studies Journal, in particular, has increasingly focussed on islands as complex socio-cultural-economic entities within a global landscape increasingly affected by factors such as tourism, migration, demographic change and the all-encompassing impact of the Anthropocene. Islands, in this context, are increasingly perceived and analysed as nexuses (rather than as isolates). Other work in the field has broadened the focus from archetypal islands—i.e., parcels of land entirely surrounded by water—to a broad range of locales and phenomena that have island-like attributes.

  • Up-To-Date Power Management System with a Simple One-To-One Replacement
    Case story: TORPOINT, UK Up-to-date power management system with a simple one-to-one replacement The Torpoint chain ferries are the UK’s busiest inland waterways ferries, crossing the Hamoaze at the mouth of the river Tamar to connect Torpoint in Cornwall with Devonport in Plymouth. The service operates 24 hours a day and 365 days a year, carrying over 2.4 million vehicles and around 500,000 foot passengers and cyclists every year, and this generation of ferries has now been in service for 14 years. The three ferries, PLYM II, TAMAR II and LYNHER II, are named after rivers in the area and are operated by the Tamar Bridge and Torpoint Ferry Joint Committee. Maintaining the resilience and To conduct the upgrade, the ferries availability of the service is vital, so need to be taken out of service, and the the decision to upgrade to the new optimum time to do this has been during “Torpoint Ferries are very happy with PPU 300’s was an obvious one to each of the ferries dry dock refits.
