  • East Anglia Seasearch – 2009 Report
    Seasearch East – 2010 Marine surveys conducted by Seasearch East Rob Spray and Dawn Watson Published March 2011 Seasearch East is grateful for support from: 1 East Anglian Seasearch – 2010 Report 1 Seasearch East in 2010 Despite another year of erratic Easterly winds disturbing the summer calm, we managed to get in some intense periods of diving when the weather was kind. We took our chances when we could and had a week of exceptional visibility off North Norfolk which generated many records and photographs, and helped to spark the now annual media frenzy! Our first record of the year was from a wreck off East Norfolk on the 1st of May and our last was from a chalk drift off Trimingham on 23rd of September. Sea temperature ranged from 9oC to 19oC degrees and dive depth from 1.0 to 33.5m. Several species new (to Seasearch) in East Anglia were recorded; Leopard Spotted goby (Thorogobius ephippiatus), Strawberry anemone (Actinia fragacea), Sagartiogeton laceratus (an anemone), Aeolidia sanguinea (a nudibranch), Stelligera rigida (a sponge), Perophora japonica (a sea squirt) as well as Corkwing and Goldsinny wrasse. Maybe most significant of all was the recording of a whole new habitat – exposed clay – which was densely peppered with previously unrecorded Common piddocks (Pholas dactylus). Plumose anemones were again the most commonly recorded species, followed by the region's signature crustaceans (Shore and Edible crabs and Common lobsters). Velvet Swimming crabs (right) were notable by their absence, the prolonged very cold Spring appeared to have reduced the previously very impressive population to almost zero.

    Cromer’s New Year’s Day Firework Display 2018 All eyes will be on the skies above Cromer Pier at 5pm on 1st January 2018 for the traditional New Year’s Day Firework display. Organisers hope as many people as possible will again come to Cromer for the day – but urge them not to leave it until the last minute. “We’re delighted it’s become such a successful annual event, and with plenty of good vantage points to watch the display, come early, we don’t want anyone to miss it,” says Firework Committee Chairman Jim Bond. “The idea has always been to bring people up to the coast for a breath of fresh air, something to eat and drink, and a fabulous firework display over the sea fired from Cromer Pier at 5pm. "Following on from last year’s postponed event (which went ahead one week later) due to adverse weather conditions, we are looking forward To another impressive display. “We are fortunate to have ‘Titanium Fireworks’ back again. Titanium put on the fantastic London New Year’s Eve display. This year they are looking to make more use of the seaside location, including waterborne pyrotechnics”. The annual display attracts over to 10,000 people into Cromer on New Year’s Day. Director of Titanium Fireworks, Simon Page, said: “We are incredibly proud to be firing the Cromer New Year's day firework display from Cromer Pier, and will be making full use of this unique setting. “We believe our experience on the London Eye, The Forth Road Bridge, Blackpool Pier and a host of stadia roofs will help us to make this display even better by using our digital firing system which allows split second firing from multiple locations.
