    Seasearch Cornwall Surveying and mapping beneath the waves in Cornwall NOV 2013 ISSUE: pMCZ Surveys pMCZ Scuba Survey Success! MCZ Designation Outstanding volunteer effort Alien invaders 2013 Training Rare records Pink Seafans Eunicella verrucosa flourish near Padstow pMCZ. Photo by Keith Hiscock Seasearch divers have succeeded in surveying five of the six divable proposed Marine Conservation Zones (pMCZ’s) in Cornwall! These include dives in Newquay and the Gannel, Padstow and Surrounds, Mounts Bay, The Manacles, and Whitsand and Looe Bay pMCZs. We have also carried out monitoring close to the estuarine Fowey pMCZ, and in Falmouth and the Helford Special Area for Conservation. Many of these sites will contribute data towards the exciting PANACHE project, which shares best practice in monitoring marine protected areas across the English Channel. Monitoring these sites is important to strengthen the case for their designation and conservation. Left: Diver John McDonnall recording Pink Seafans. Photo by Keith Hiscock News Flash! Cornish MCZ’s Designated Defra have announced that 27 MCZ’s will be designated in November 2013. In Cornwall we will benefit from coastal Marine Conservation Zones at The Manacles, Padstow Bay and surrounds, Whitsand and Looe Bay, Upper Fowey and Pont Pill, and Tamar Estuary sites shared with Devon (green arrows). Nearby; the Isles of Scilly, Lundy, and 3 MCZ’s offshore from Cornish are also being designated. These sites showcase some of our out- standing marine life and represent a huge achievement for conservation, but more work must be done to ensure that further proposed sites (red arrows) are included in the next tranche, due for designation in 2015-16.

  • Mapping Ecosystem Services for Marine Planning: a UK Case Study

Findings in the UK South West Marine Management Organisation (MMO) Plan Area show that different MPAs yield high value estimates and that activities are grouped in certain areas, with the Severn Estuary and surrounding Site(s) of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) attracting the most recreational anglers, despite having lower water quality. This can be explained by increased nutrient levels, which enhance biological activity and yet do not cause oxygen depletion. The yearly value of the ecosystem service of carbon sequestration and storage in the area is estimated between £16 and £62 thousand. Proximity to large urban areas and shallow waters appear to be the most appealing factors for anglers, while proximity with France can be associated with the high fishing effort in the southwest of the study area. We show that the use of a tool integrating a willingness-to-pay function with high spatial resolution layers and associated monetary values can be used for short-term marine spatial planning and management.

  • Environmentol Protection Report WATER QUALITY MONITORING
    5k Environmentol Protection Report WATER QUALITY MONITORING LOCATIONS 1992 April 1992 FW P/9 2/ 0 0 1 Author: B Steele Technicol Assistant, Freshwater NRA National Rivers Authority CVM Davies South West Region Environmental Protection Manager HATER QUALITY MONITORING LOCATIONS 1992 _ . - - TECHNICAL REPORT NO: FWP/92/001 The maps in this report indicate the monitoring locations for the 1992 Regional Water Quality Monitoring Programme which is described separately. The presentation of all monitoring features into these catchment maps will assist in developing an integrated approach to catchment management and operation. The water quality monitoring maps and index were originally incorporated into the Catchment Action Plans. They provide a visual presentation of monitored sites within a catchment and enable water quality data to be accessed easily by all departments and external organisations. The maps bring together information from different sections within Water Quality. The routine river monitoring and tidal water monitoring points, the licensed waste disposal sites and the monitored effluent discharges (pic, non-plc, fish farms, COPA Variation Order [non-plc and pic]) are plotted. The type of discharge is identified such as sewage effluent, dairy factory, etc. Additionally, river impact and control sites are indicated for significant effluent discharges. If the watercourse is not sampled then the location symbol is qualified by (*). Additional details give the type of monitoring undertaken at sites (ie chemical, biological and algological) and whether they are analysed for more specialised substances as required by: a. EC Dangerous Substances Directive b. EC Freshwater Fish Water Quality Directive c. DOE Harmonised Monitoring Scheme d. DOE Red List Reduction Programme c.

  • Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Landscape Character Study
    CORNWALL AND ISLES OF SCILLY LANDSCAPE CHARACTER STUDY Landscape Character Area Description LCA - Fowey Valley LCA No CA21 JCA Constituent LDUs Total 11: 243, 252, 253, 254, 255, 377U, 378, 379, 382, 383, 386 © Crown copyright. All rights reserved. Cornwall County Council 100019590, 2008. Location This area comprises the river system of the River Fowey and its tributaries from Bodmin Moor (LCA32) and the eastern plateau (LCA 22 South East Cornwall Plateau) and includes the estate parkland of Lanhydrock (National Trust). Designations 5 LDUs are partly covered by the Cornwall AONB designation; 2 contain SSSIs; 2 are partly covered by the Gribbin Head to Polperro Heritage Coast designation. One LDU contains a SACs site and 1 an NNR; 7 contain SMs and 5 CGS. Description This Landscape Character Area is comprised of the River Fowey and its tributaries and the Fowey ria, the latter of which is navigable and the former non navigable. The upper tributaries of the River Fowey flow from Bodmin Moor through steep sided and heavily wooded stream valleys with a strong sense of enclosure. These tributaries flow into the main channel of the Fowey which winds east to west through the Glynn Valley. The valley widens out into the mature parkland ornamental landscape of Lanhydrock House with its woodland conifer plantations and more recent shelter belts. Past Lanhydrock, the River turns south towards Lostwithiel and flows through well wooded farmland, grading into the Fowey ria across a floodplain of wet woodland, wetland, saltmarsh and then intertidal mudflats. The ria tributaries flow from the plateau ground to the east and west with the main creeks of Penpol, Pont Pill and Lerryn, on the eastern side of the river, flowing from the South East Cornwall Plateau (LCA 22).

  • Responsibilities for Flood Risk Management
    Appendix A - Responsibilities for Flood Risk Management The Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has overall responsibility for flood risk management in England. Their aim is to reduce flood risk by: • discouraging inappropriate development in areas at risk of flooding. • encouraging adequate and cost effective flood warning systems. • encouraging adequate technically, environmentally and economically sound and sustainable flood defence measures. The Government’s Foresight Programme has recently produced a report called Future Flooding, which warns that the risk of flooding will increase between 2 and 20 times over the next 75 years. The report produced by the Office of Science and Technology has a long-term vision for the future (2030 – 2100), helping to make sure that effective strategies are developed now. Sir David King, the Chief Scientific Advisor to the Government concluded: “continuing with existing policies is not an option – in virtually every scenario considered (for climate change), the risks grow to unacceptable levels. Secondly, the risk needs to be tackled across a broad front. However, this is unlikely to be sufficient in itself. Hard choices need to be taken – we must either invest in more sustainable approaches to flood and coastal management or learn to live with increasing flooding”. In response to this, Defra is leading the development of a new strategy for flood and coastal erosion for the next 20 years. This programme, called “Making Space for Water” will help define and set the agenda for the Government’s future strategic approach to flood risk. Within this strategy there will be an overall approach to the assessing options through a strong and continuing commitment to CFMPs and SMPs within a broader planning framework which will include River Basin Management Plans prepared under the Water Framework Directive and Integrated Coastal Zone Management.
