LONGROCK SEA DEFENCES, PENZANCE, CORNWALL UNDER £3 MILLION Cormac Under £3m £450,000 Long Rock is located between Penzance and Marazion on the South coast of Cornwall. It is named after the rocks at the mid-point of the three mile stretch of beach running from Penzance Railway Station at Eastern Green to the iconic St. Michael's Mount. Following the severe storms in January 2016, the existing stream became blocked by sand and it diverted under the foundations of Long Rock Sea Wall which caused a collapse. The client requirement was to provide a scheme that aligned with both the Shoreline Management Plan and engineering advice as part of a report on the approach to Longrock sea defences. Adding rock armour in the form of large boulders in front of the wall was designed to absorb and redistribute the energy of incoming waves. This aimed to reduce erosion and the potential for further damage, and so substantially, it prolongs the life of the structures behind the armour. This Design & Build project involved extending the existing rock-armour profile at Longrock along the sea wall towards Marazion by 65 linear metres. The excavated profiles were lined with a high- strength geotextile and filled to engineer’s profiles with nearly 3000 tonnes of stone boulders which ranged from 2 tonnes and up to 4.5 tonnes. The works were completed on time and within budget, and much of the credit for this must be given to the collaborative approach of the client (Cornwall Council). Importantly, the client realised that it was necessary to adapt to site conditions and constantly review and discuss solutions. In turn, the proactive responses from Cormac Solutions’ design team allowed the development of design changes. .

Offshore Spread and Toxic Effects of Detergents Sprayed on Shores
CHAPTER 6 OFFSHORE SPREAD AND TOXIC EFFECTS OF DETERGENTS SPRAYED ON SHORES The shore surveys reported in the previous chapter have shown that detergent cleansing of rocks and sands causes extensive damage to, and often total destruction of, the populations of intertidal plants and animals in and immediately adjacent to areas of intensive spraying. There was also evidence that, as a result of movements of toxic water, organisms living a quarter of a mile or more from the area of spraying may be damaged or killed .. It seemed important therefore to investigate in greater detail the patterns of flow of shore-originating polluted water under different conditions of wind and tide; the concentration and persistence of the component deter• gent fractions; and their possible effects on organisms living in the off• shore waters. The investigations were undertaken during the month of April by teams working mainly in the Porthleven (South Cornwall) area. The teams, comprising shore-based parties and underwater divers, were aided by a ship survey (R.V. 'Sarsia' inshore stations A-M of 13 April, see Fig. 19) which included Agassiz-trawl sampling of the offshore benthic fauna. Laboratory measurements were made of the concentration of the component fractions of detergents present in the area of long-shore and offshore spread of the detergent-charged water. Oil reached PORTHLEVENon 25 March in considerable quantities during a period of spring tides and onshore winds so that in some places it was distributed well above the high-water mark. Very large amounts of deter• gent were subsequently used to combat the oil.

Cornwall Council
Cornwall Council Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment ANNEX 5 – Chronology of Major Flood Events in Cornwall June 2011 1800 – 1899 A storm caused coastal flooding affecting a number of communities along the south coast on 19-20 January 1817. Polperro harbour was destroyed by this storm and Looe was badly damaged. Truro suffered from numerous flooding events during the 1800s (1811, 1815, 1818, 1838, 1841, 1844, 1846, 1848 (twice), 1869, 1875, 1880, 1882 (twice), 1885, 1894 and 1899). These were usually associated with high river flows coinciding with high tides. Known as the Great Flood of 16 July 1847, due to an intense rainstorm event on Davidstow Moor water collected in the valley and forced a passage of water down the Camel and Inney. Bodmin - Dunmere Valley and the whole area below Dunmere Hill was flooded by the River Camel. Dunmere Bridge was washed away as was the new 40 feet (12 m) high railway bridge. At St. Breward, bridges from Gam Bridge to Dunmere were washed away by a wall of water 12 to 18 feet (3.5-5.5 m) above normal along the River Camel. The devastating floods that swept down from Davidstow Moor washed away all but two of the bridges along the River Camel - Wadebridge and Helland being the only survivors. Serious flooding occurred in Par and St Blazey in November 1852. November 1875 saw heavy rain resulting in serious flooding in Bude, Camelford, Polmorla, Hayle, St Just, Penzance and Truro. Extreme rainfall in October 1880 resulted in serious flooding in both Bodmin and Truro. High tides at the end of September and early October 1882 resulted in flooding in Boscastle, Truro, Wadebridge and Padstow.
