8 Sker Point to Swansea Docks
Lavernock Point to St Ann’s Head SMP2 Main Document Policy Statement – Sker Point to Swansea Docks (8) Sker Point to Swansea Docks (8) Recommendations: Long Term Plan This frontage comprises the heavily developed and modified shores of Port Talbot and the Neath Estuary, with various revetments, defences, breakwaters and structures associated with the Port of Port Talbot. Prior to development this coastline would have been characterised by extensive sand dune systems, although only two dune areas remain, Kenfig Burrows and Margam Burrows (to the south of Port Talbot) and the smaller Crymlyn Burrows (to the north of the Neath Estuary). The plan is to continue to manage the risk of coastal erosion and flooding to industrial, residential, non-residential, commercial and amenity assets along the coast, whilst enabling natural evolution of the dunes. There are significant linkages and interdependencies along this frontage and its future evolution, will be dependent upon future management strategies for Port Talbot steelworks, the Port of Port Talbot and the Neath Estuary, which includes the Port of Neath and various leisure functions.

Unlocking the Potential of the Global Marine Energy Industry 02 South West Marine Energy Park Prospectus 1St Edition January 2012 03
Unlocking the potential of the global marine energy industry 02 South West Marine Energy Park Prospectus 1st edition January 2012 03 The SOUTH WEST MARINE ENERGY PARK is: a collaborative partnership between local and national government, Local Enterprise Partnerships, technology developers, academia and industry a physical and geographic zone with priority focus for marine energy technology development, energy generation projects and industry growth The geographic scope of the South West Marine Energy Park (MEP) extends from Bristol to Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, with a focus around the ports, research facilities and industrial clusters found in Cornwall, Plymouth and Bristol. At the heart of the South West MEP is the access to the significant tidal, wave and offshore wind resources off the South West coast and in the Bristol Channel. The core objective of the South West MEP is to: create a positive business environment that will foster business collaboration, attract investment and accelerate the commercial development of the marine energy sector. “ The South West Marine Energy Park builds on the region’s unique mix of renewable energy resource and home-grown academic, technical and industrial expertise. Government will be working closely with the South West MEP partnership to maximise opportunities and support the Park’s future development. ” Rt Hon Greg Barker MP, Minister of State, DECC The South West Marine Energy Park prospectus Section 1 of the prospectus outlines the structure of the South West MEP and identifies key areas of the programme including measures to provide access to marine energy resources, prioritise investment in infrastructure, reduce project risk, secure international finance, support enterprise and promote industry collaboration. -

Supporting business and industry The Welsh ports industry Types of port Connections and infrastruc- Representing a vital sector ture investment The Wales Bill published in June includes proposals to devolve most ports policy functions to the Welsh Government. The Welsh Port Group’s view Environment and planning on this remains neutral. What really matters is the policy framework. We expect this to translate into a stable and market-led Government ap- proach to ports policy, maintaining the mixed ownership model and a Supporting a progressive level playing field for all Welsh ports without disadvantaging them against industry ports outside Wales. The current English and Welsh policy framework is a good template for this policy. Welsh ports directory The Welsh Government has given positive indications that it would main- tain the market-led approach to ports and we are keen to open a dia- logue. The new Bill will provide a focus for discussion. Also of interest are the arrangements and resourcing of a new Ports Unit in Wales which would have a key consenting role, overseeing Harbour Revision Order applications. We look forward to discussing all these points with our colleagues in the Welsh Government. -
Annex D Marine Aggregates Port Maintenance Dredging
Lavernock Point to St Ann’s Head SMP2 Appendix C: Baseline Process Understanding Annex D: Marine Aggregates Dredging and Port Maintenance Dredging ANNEX D: MARINE AGGREGATES DREDGING AND PORT MAINTENANCE DREDGING 2 Lavernock Point to St Ann’s Head SMP2 Appendix C: Baseline Process Understanding Annex D: Marine Aggregates Dredging and Port Maintenance Dredging 1 Introduction This annex provides background information on the regulation of dredging within the UK and an overview of dredging activities in the area covered by the Lavernock Point to St Ann’s Head Shoreline Management Plan (SMP), through review of existing guidance and information. Human intervention, in its many forms, has had a significant influence on how our coasts have changed over time. One such activity is the removal (or dredging) of sediments from the offshore zone, which has the potential to affect our shorelines, through either affecting the flow of tides and waves towards the coast or through the removal of sediment which may otherwise contribute to the natural development of beaches. For that reason, dredging around the coast of the UK is strictly controlled, with government control and licensing of marine aggregate dredging in Wales administered by the Welsh Assembly Government (WAG). Where dredging of seabed deposits of sand and gravel is proposed, the potential impacts of this activity on the shoreline are considered in a coastal impact study section of an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), which includes a consideration of possible changes in tidal flows, waves and sediment transport. There are five existing licensed extraction sites that could potentially affect the coastline covered by this SMP: Holm Sands, Culver Sands, Nash Bank, Helwick Bank and Nobel Banks, as well as the Western Bristol Channel area which is currently at application stage. -

The most common, B. neritina, was known from a few sites in southern Britain and northern France during the 20th century, following its discovery at Plymouth by 1911. During the 1950-60s it was abundant in a dock heated by power station effluent at Swansea, south Wales, where it flourished until the late 1960s, while water temperatures were 7-10°C above ambient. It disappeared after power generation ceased, when summer temperatures probably became insufficient to support breeding. Details of disappearances have not been recorded but B. neritina was not seen in Britain between c1970 and 1999. -
