  • Just a Balloon Report Jan 2017
    Just a Balloon BALLOON DEBRIS ON CORNISH BEACHES Cornish Plastic Pollution Coalition | January 2017 BACKGROUND This report has been compiled by the Cornish Plastic Pollution Coalition (CPPC), a sub-group of the Your Shore Network (set up and supported by Cornwall Wildlife Trust). The aim of the evidence presented here is to assist Cornwall Council’s Environment Service with the pursuit of a Public Spaces Protection Order preventing Balloon and Chinese Lantern releases in the Duchy. METHODOLOGY During the time period July to December 2016, evidence relating to balloon debris found on Cornish beaches was collected by the CPPC. This evidence came directly to the CPPC from members (voluntary groups and individuals) who took part in beach-cleans or litter-picks, and was accepted in a variety of formats:- − Physical balloon debris (latex, mylar, cords & strings, plastic ends/sticks) − Photographs − Numerical data − E mails − Phone calls/text messages − Social media posts & direct messages Each piece of separate balloon debris was logged, but no ‘double-counting’ took place i.e. if a balloon was found still attached to its cord, or plastic end, it was recorded as a single piece of debris. PAGE 1 RESULTS During the six month reporting period balloon debris was found and recorded during beach cleans at 39 locations across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly shown here:- Cornwall has an extensive network of volunteer beach cleaners and beach cleaning groups. Many of these are active on a weekly or even daily basis, and so some of the locations were cleaned on more than one occasion during the period, whilst others only once.

    CSGRT Annual Report 2020 Who knew we could achieve so much? An extraordinary year Inspiring ambassadors for seals Smashed expectations and targets It’s all change Highs and lows Amazing seal stories World record breakers Phenomenal teamwork COVID19 transformed our charity for the better forever. Annual Report 2020 At CSGRT we described 2018 as a landmark year, 2019 saw us riding a wave of success, which we managed to sustain in 2020 despite COVID19. People We began 2020 with 4 paid rangers. At the start of 2020, our Rangers and activities were funded by The People’s Postcode Lottery (Postcode Local Trust), Heritage Lottery Fund, Heritage Emergency Fund, Natural England, TEVI, LUSH Cosmetics, TESCO Bags of Help, Seal Protection Action Group, Polzeath Marine Conservation Group, Three Bays Wildlife, Animal Friends, Aspects Holidays, Fourth Element, Mungo Lils on the Hill, Rowes Cornish Bakers, The Bowgie Inn, SeaChangers, Waterhaul, The University of Exeter and our incredible volunteer fundraising efforts and donations. However, during 2020, funding ran out and COVID19 made our finances rather precarious. As a result, we ran our first ever Crowdfunder Appeal. Thanks to everyone’s huge generosity and a lot of hard work by our team, we surpassed our target and raised a total of £21963. In 2020, our part time Rangers were: • Amazement and Discovery/Photo ID Ranger (Marion Beaulieu) • Creativity and Activity Ranger (Emily Pollitt) • Retail Ranger (Joe Gray) • Sanctuaries at Sea Ranger (Sarah Millward) • Seal Research Ranger (Katie Bellman) CSGRT Marine Rangers Emily has moved on to pastures new and we have been joined by Joe.

    Viewpoint Tin and beans © Richard Ellis, Flickr (CCL) Time: 15 mins Region: South West England Landscape: coastal Location: Cape Cornwall, near St Just, Land’s End Peninsula, Cornwall TR19 7NN Grid reference: SW 35024 31848 Getting there: Take the B3306 from St Ives to Lands End or A3071 from Penzance and continue to the end of Cape Cornwall Road. parking available at the National Trust car park. From the car park, follow the obvious path up to the summit of Cape Cornwall. Just a short drive from the village of St Just and within sight of Land’s End on the south- west tip of England, Cape Cornwall juts out to sea on a coastline renowned for surf, sea life and shipwrecks. A steady stream of people head up the hill here to take advantage of far-reaching views across the Atlantic Ocean. But most are unware of the area’s curious hidden history... Why does a tall chimney dominate the view at Cape Cornwall? Walking down the quiet country lane from the village of St Just towards Cape Cornwall brings you to what was once thought to be the most westerly point of England. Although that accolade now sits with Land’s End, Cape Cornwall ambitiously juts out into the ocean to compete. Visitors buy ice creams and walk along the coastal path, all gazing up at a curious chimney that © Jin-in-uk, Flickr (CCL) ensures Cape Cornwall is visible for miles around. Like elsewhere along the rugged Cornish coastline, tin was discovered under the rich alluvial soil here as early as the Bronze Age (2500-800 BC) and led to a flourishing mining industry.
