  • SMP2 6 Final Report
    6 ACTION PLAN 6.1 Coastal risk management activities The Action Plan for the Cornwall & Isles of Scilly Shoreline Management Plan review provides the basis for taking forward the intent of management which is discussed and developed through Chapter 4 - and summarised through the preferred policy choices set out in Chapter 5. The SMP guidance states that the purpose of the Action Plan is to summarise the actions that are required before the next review of the SMP however in reality the Action Plan is looking much further into the future in order to provide guidance on how the overall management intent for 100 years may be taken forward. For Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly SMP the Action Plan is a critical element, because there are various conditional policies for later epochs which need to be more firmly established in the future based on monitoring and investigation. The Action Plan can set the framework for an on-going shoreline management process in the coming years, with SMP3 in 5 to 10 years time as the next important milestone. This chapter therefore attempts to capture all intended actions necessary, on a policy unit by policy unit basis, to deliver the objectives at a local level. It should also help to prioritise FCRM medium and long-term planning budget lines. A number of the actions are representative of on-going commitments across the SMP area (for example to South West Regional Coastal Monitoring Programme). There are also actions that are representative of wide-scale intent of management, for example in relation to gaining a better understanding of the roles played by the various harbours and breakwaters located around the coast in terms of coast protection and sea defence.

H. RYVES, H. M. QUICK and A. G. PARSONS (kindly assisted by Dr. R. H. BLAIR) Forty-nine new members joined the Society during 1954. We regret the loss by death of seven members; thirteen have resigned, and the resignation of twelve more assumed by reason of non­ payment of subscription. This makes the total of ordinary mem­ bers 607. Mr. Hayman (M.P. for Camborne-Falmouth) was elected an Honorary member at the Annual Meeting, in recognition of his services during the passage through Parliament of the Bird Protec­ tion Act. The Twenty-third Annual Meeting was held in the Museum, Truro, on May 1st. Mr. Hurrell showed his films of Birds of Prey at the nest, and of Flamingoes in the Camargue. At the Autumn meeting on November 6th, Mr. Parsons spoke of his visit to Swedish Lapland, showing some of his own films and photographs. One Executive Committee meeting was held during the year.

  • Cornish Mineral Reference Manual
    Cornish Mineral Reference Manual Peter Golley and Richard Williams April 1995 First published 1995 by Endsleigh Publications in association with Cornish Hillside Publications © Endsleigh Publications 1995 ISBN 0 9519419 9 2 Endsleigh Publications Endsleigh House 50 Daniell Road Truro, Cornwall TR1 2DA England Printed in Great Britain by Short Run Press Ltd, Exeter. Introduction Cornwall's mining history stretches back 2,000 years; its mineralogy dates from comparatively recent times. In his Alphabetum Minerale (Truro, 1682) Becher wrote that he knew of no place on earth that surpassed Cornwall in the number and variety of its minerals. Hogg's 'Manual of Mineralogy' (Truro 1825) is subtitled 'in wich [sic] is shown how much Cornwall contributes to the illustration of the science', although the manual is not exclusively based on Cornish minerals. It was Garby (TRGSC, 1848) who was the first to offer a systematic list of Cornish species, with locations in his 'Catalogue of Minerals'. Garby was followed twenty-three years later by Collins' A Handbook to the Mineralogy of Cornwall and Devon' (1871; 1892 with addenda, the latter being reprinted by Bradford Barton of Truro in 1969). Collins followed this with a supplement in 1911. (JRIC Vol. xvii, pt.2.). Finally the torch was taken up by Robson in 1944 in the form of his 'Cornish Mineral Index' (TRGSC Vol. xvii), his amendments and additions were published in the same Transactions in 1952. All these sources are well known, but the next to appear is regrettably much less so. it would never the less be only just to mention Purser's 'Minerals and locations in S.W.
