During this time the volunteer divers carried out full Zostera marina monitoring dives on six of the sites surveyed in previous expeditions with the seventh, Rushy Bay only partly surveyed. On selected beds a new method of assessing plant density was also tried. Zostera plant densities follow a similar pattern from that seen in previous years with the bed at Little Arthur continuing to have the greatest mean plant density. The bed with the biggest change is that at Old Grimsby Harbour which, although remains highly patchy in nature, had an increase in mean plant density to the highest level since 1994. Evidence of damage to the rhizome systems from the swinging mooring chains is still present. This patchy nature of Zostera growth was observed at a number of sites although the reasons for this are not as obvious as at Old Grimsby Harbour. The bed at West Broad Ledge which had lowest mean plant density in 2002 was somewhat recovered in 2003 but still down on the levels recorded in 2000. Infection by the parasitic slime mould Labrynthula remains at similar levels to those recorded in 2002 though there was a noticeable reduction in the amount of infection in the bed at Old Grimsby Harbour, Tresco which had the lowest mean percentage leaf infection of all the beds surveyed. It is suggested that while natural conditions and factors will have an impact on the health of the Zostera beds, anthropogenic impacts are also important in their long term viability. 4 1 INTRODUCTION The Isles of Scilly, lying some 40km south west of Lands End, are the most westerly land mass of Great Britain and are comprised of approximately 200 granite islands and rocks separated by a shallow sea. The seafloor between the islands is mainly comprised of a mixture of sands and smaller pebbles with a distinct decreasing size gradient in material from west to east. The five main islands; St. Mary’s, St. Martin’s, Tresco, Bryher and St. Agnes are inhabited and support farming, fishing and are a popular tourist destination. The islands are a variety of unique compositions of natural history as a result of the combination of their physical environment and climate. Rare indigenous plants, as well as exotics more characteristic of subtropical climates, thrive on the Islands. The low level of traffic on the roads and plentiful windbreaks made from hedges and pines provide ideal conditions for a variety of birds. The marine environment is also shaped by the extreme physical conditions. The rocky shores of the western islands are so extreme that the scientific classification of shore- types had to be extended to include a special category for Scilly - the 'super-exposed'. Below the low-water mark, only those species that are able to withstand periodic inundations of the full force of the Atlantic are able to survive. On the more protected eastern seaboard by contrast, sheltered, deep-water habitats are home to colonies of various delicate species such as sea fans and branching sponges which often have southerly distributions. At the opposite end of the scale of exposure to the battered western shores, the sea bed inside the archipelago is very sheltered. Sediments derived from the granite bedrock are carried by tides and waves into the sheltered inter-island basin and deposited there. These shallow and sheltered inter island waters provide an ideal marine environment for the growth of Zostera marina, which grows in large beds on the sandy sediments found there. Although deprived of the nutrient sources that are common to the inshore waters of mainland Britain, the waters around Scilly support a wealth of marine life, including numerous commercial species and an important colony of the Grey Seal (Halichoerus grypus). 1.1 The Expedition The 2003 expedition was the twelfth consecutive year in which volunteers visited the Isles of Scilly to carry out surveys of the coastal waters around the islands. The team was a mixture of volunteers with previous experience of surveys in the Scillies and new members. The main objective of the 2003 expedition was to repeat surveys of the seven Zostera marina beds surveyed in previous years also noting the occurrence of any Sargassum muticum within the beds. 5 1.11 Expedition Management The expedition was planned and led by Kevan Cook and assisted by Tom Ried, John Whitaker and Ben Thompson. Other members of the expedition team carried out various other tasks of the associated with the work of the expedition. 1.12 Expedition Members The following people took

However, it contains selected information and thus is not definitive and does not include all known information on the subject in hand. The authors, the RCC Pilotage Foundation and Imray Laurie Norie & Wilson Ltd believe this supplement to be a useful aid to prudent navigation, but the safety of a vessel depends ultimately on the judgement of the navigator, who should assess all information, published or unpublished, available to him/her. With the increasing precision of modern position-fixing methods, allowance must be made for inaccuracies in latitude and longitude on many charts, inevitably perpetuated on some harbour plans.

  • 6 Romano-British (AD 43 – 410)
    Isles of Scilly Historic Environment Research Framework: Resource Assessment and Research Agenda 6 Romano-British (AD 43 – 410) Edited by Charles Johns from contributions from Sarnia Butcher, Kevin Camidge, Dan Charman, Ralph Fyfe, Andy M Jones, Steve Mills, Jacqui Mulville, Henrietta Quinnell, and Paul Rainbird. 6.1 Introduction Although Scilly was a very remote part of the Roman Empire it occupied a pivotal position on the Atlantic façade along the routes of trade and cultural interchange between Brittany and Western Britain; unlike Cornwall, however, it was not a source of streamed tin. The cultural origins of Roman Scilly are rooted in the local Iron Age but sites can be identified which reflect the cult practices of the wider Roman world. Charles Thomas (1985, 170-2) envisaged Roman Scilly as a place of pilgrimage, dominated by a shrine to a native marine goddess at Nornour in the Eastern Isles. The rich Roman finds from that site are among the most iconic and enigmatic emblems of Scilly’s archaeological heritage. The main characteristics of Scilly’s Romano-British (AD 43 to AD 410) resource are summarised in this review. Fig 6.1 Iron Age and Romano-British sites recorded in the Scilly HER 6.2 Landscape and environmental background Results from the Lyonesse Project (Charman et al 2012) suggest that the present pattern of islands was largely formed by this period, although the intertidal zone was much greater in extent (Fig 6.2). Radiocarbon dating and environmental analysis of the lower peat deposit sample from Old Town Bay, St Mary’s, i n 1997 indicated that from the Late Iron Age to the early medieval period the site consisted of an area of shallow freshwater surrounded by a largely open landscape with arable fields and pasture bordering the wetland (Ratcliffe and Straker 1998, 1).

We explored Hugh Town, had lunch, then set off on our first walk, heading up onto The Garrison through the Sally Port. Our first few finds were Ivy-leaved Toadflax (Cymbalaria muralis) and the locally frequent Western Clover (Trifolium occidentale) with shiny undersides to the leaves. Also in flower were tiny specimens such as Early Forget- me-not (Myosotis ramossisima) and some showy Scilly specialities like Giant Herb-Robert (Geranium maderense). The day’s unsettled weather had finally turned into brilliant sunshine as we headed past Star Castle, but it was still breezy. We took in the stunning views over the island-strewn turquoise seas, and we made out the main islands and Bishop Rock Lighthouse. On a Dandelion (Taraxacum agg.) we spotted a Scilly Bee busily gathering pollen.

    PDZ:18 Isles of Scilly Management Area 42 Management Area 43 Management Area 44 Management Area 45 Management Area 46 St Martin’s from the air Isles of Scilly The Isles of Scilly is an archipelago of around 140 islands that emerge from the Atlantic around 45km west of Land’s End, formed from the remnants of an upstanding granite landform linked to Cornwall. Of the 140 islands the five main inhabited islands are considered within the SMP and this Policy Development Zone area. These islands are: • St Mary’s • Tresco • Bryher • St Martin’s • St Agnes The very location of Scilly makes it a unique place to live or to visit. All of the islands display an extremely strong sense of community and this cohesion and sense of identity within the local population could be seen as one of Scilly’s greatest assets. Cornwall and Isles of Scilly SMP2 Final Report Chapter 4 PDZ18 1 February 2011 The archipelago combines areas of wild, exposed coastline, open to the full energy of the Atlantic, with extremely sheltered nearshore areas of white sand and shallow blue seas more reminiscent of a tropical location than the UK. The entire archipelago is owned by the Duchy of Cornwall although there are residential parts of St Mary’s which are held by private landowners and the Island of Tresco is wholly leased to another organisation. The largest inhabited island is St Mary’s which is home to the main settlement of the islands, Hugh Town. Hugh Town is built for the most part on a sandy iszmuth which connects the two granite islands that form St Mary’s.

By the time that was lifted suddenly in early July, I was reconciled to leaving Sweet Briar ashore - until I was told that it would cost £600 to keep her in the yard until the Autumn. I launched her and had a yacht in commission but no plans for the season. I feared I had immunised both my children against sailing. Both had cruised with Veryan and me from the carrycot stage but showed no interest once they had fledged. Both had started in Optimists.
