    Dorset Seasearch: Annual Summary Report 2017

    Dorset Seasearch: Annual Summary Report 2017 The 2017 diving season was another busy one for Dorset Seasearch with ten days of Seasearch diving as well as three Seasearch Observer courses. Five diving days were lost to bad weather conditions: four week day Seasearch friendly dives from West Bay and one day of the Lyme Bay weekend in October. Altogether 52 divers took part in dives organised by Dorset Seasearch in 2017. The Dives Lyme Regis with Rob King on Blue Turtle. Four dives were achieved over a breezy weekend in June all within the zone covered by the Statutory Instrument (SI) for Lyme Bay which prohibits the use of mobile fishing gear within the area. Both days were sunny with a south-westerly swell running, just perceptible at diving depth and an increasingly strong breeze in the Sunday. Visibility in-water was good and diving conditions whilst in-water were pleasant. The first dive target was a boulder reef 9km southeast of Lyme Regis near the southern edge of the area closed to bottom towed gear (Lyme Bay SI) on a known chalk outcrop. The site had a diverse epifauna including Pink Sea Fans (Eunicella verrucosa) and a range of sponges, bryozoa and sea squirts. The second dive targeted a site a bit further inshore which revealed low-lying bedrock ledges separated by flat bedrock with a mobile sediment veneer of sand and gravel composed of stone and shell. Again a diverse fauna was reported with Eunicella verrucosa represented by a range of different aged colonies as well as the nationally scarce branching sponge Adreus fascicularis.

    Appendix A Consultation on Proposed Dog- Related Public Spaces Protection Order There are a number of existing dog-related Public Spaces Protection Orders (‘PSPOs’) across the Dorset Council area. These were introduced by the former District and Borough Councils which have now become part of the new unitary Dorset Council. Some of these Orders will soon naturally expire and the council is taking the opportunity to consolidate them into one. The intention is that the new Order will provide clarity and consistency across the area for dog owners and non-owners alike about dog controls on public open spaces. We are required to consult with the public and other stakeholders on the content of new or revised PSPOs. This may see changes to the previous Orders dependent upon the views expressed. Councillors will make the final decision on the controls to be included in the new Order, having regard to the feedback received during the consultation. The views of residents, visitors and businesses are therefore very important and a period of consultation will run for 12 weeks finishing at 4.30pm on Friday ADD DATE. To have your say, please complete this short survey, it should take about 15 minutes or less for the 34 questions related to the proposal and a further 6 ‘about you’. Results will be published on the consultation tracker after the closing date. Information on the current dog-related Public Spaces Protection Orders is available to view at: East Dorset: https://www.dorsetcouncil.gov.uk/environmental-health/dog-warden-service/dog-control-

Olympic Torch Relay The Torch will be arriving early Friday evening, carried into the club by our cadets and available for all to see. We will then be presenting our 14/07/2012 - 15/07/2012 teams with their Olympic quilts. In traditional Castle Cove style, please Weymouth Dinghy Regatta bring a plate of finger food to share and enjoy a complimentary glass of wine and the company of our teams for the evening. 29/07/2012 Friday also marks the start of the Weymouth Regatta (Keelboats 7-8 Start of the Olympic Sailing Events July and Dinghies 14-15 July) and the Spirit of the Sea festival. The weekend of dinghy regatta is going to be extra-ordinarily busy – we are 30/07/2012 hosting well over 100 boats (mostly parked on the beach) and this year Barn Dance we will be hosting the Saturday evening social which is set to be quite an evening! The boat park will be full to over-flowing; in addition to the 05/08/2012 regatta, the Academy starts its lock down on Friday 13th July and will Cream Tea be carrying out the security sweep during the weekend. Clearly, there will be very little opportunity of parking at the club and I would ask you to seek out those old parking locations away from the club or come by bike or on foot.

  • Lodmoor Area Report 2020

    Lodmoor Area Report 2020

    LODMOOR AREA REPORT 2020 Collectively a total of 191 species were recorded. There were no new birds for Lodmoor, so the area list remains at 308. There were, however, two seconds: A much appreciated Squacco heron and a Long tailed skua. In addition there were two new breeding records: Mediterranean gull and Willow warbler. And a new dragonfly: Green eyed hawker. Arguably the most significant event of the year was man made: the RSPB’s decision to begin draining the marsh ahead of cutting down the reed bed. Increasingly low water levels, combined with another summer drought, made life very tough for a number of water birds. Lockdown -- ironically -- also triggered an obvious increase in human disturbance. Wildlife had to cope with more noise, more uncontrolled dogs, more illegal cyclists and more litter than ever. It also affected the birding…for some there was more coverage(no foreign trips!) but for others fewer visits(travel restrictions). All in all -- despite some wonderful highlights -- not a vintage year. BREEDING BIRDS Probably as many losers as winners. The big success story was the Common terns, who fledged a minimum of 90 chicks, closely followed by Black headed gulls, who brought off 60 young. And there was still room on the islands for a pair of Mediterranean gulls to fledge a single chick. Meanwhile, there was strong evidence that Willow warbler nested in Two Mile Coppice. A number of scarce breeding birds did the business again, including Common Firecrest, Goldcrest, Eurasian Jay, Coal tit and Eurasian Treecreeper. And it looked like two erratic nesters -- Eurasian Hobby and Common Grasshopper warblers -- stayed to breed.
