This work has therefore helped to raise awareness amongst operating authorities, of biodiversity opportunities linked to the implementation of SMP policies. It is also the intention that taking such an approach will integrate shoreline management with the long term evolution of the coast and help deliver the targets set out in the UK Biodiversity Action Plan. In addition, Defra High Level Target 4 for Flood and Coastal Defence on biodiversity requires all operating authorities (coastal local authorities and the Environment Agency), to take account of biodiversity, as detailed below: Target 4 - Biodiversity By when By whom A.

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.

  • This Walk Description Is from Happyhiker.Co.Uk Boscastle to Bossiney Haven Introduction: Although I Have Called This Walk Boscas
    This walk description is from happyhiker.co.uk Boscastle to Bossiney Haven Starting point and OS Grid reference Boscastle – Paradise Road (SX096905) Ordnance Survey map OS Explorer 111 - Bude, Boscastle & Tintagel Distance 6.6 miles Date of Walk 15 September 2016 Traffic light rating Introduction: Although I have called this walk Boscastle to Bossiney Haven, really to define the furthest points, there is so much more to it. It is full of interesting features and a great walk. A brief list is: Boscastle St Nectan’s Glen and Waterfall St Piran’s Church and Well Ancient rock carvings Rocky Valley Site of Iron Age Fort Boscastle is best left to the end of the walk. It is a very pretty setting with a river flowing down it. Sadly, the river was almost the end of Boscastle, when there was a severe flood in 2014. However, strenuous efforts mean there is no trace of the destruction now and one could be forgiven for thing nothing happened. St Nectan’s Glen provides a lovely walk through attractive woodlands. These are privately owned and although the public footpath runs through them, this does not unfortunately include the waterfalls area. To see these you have to pay at the café. Whether this is worth the cost is up to you – potentially £5.95 per adult, or £4.70 (2016 prices) for coffin dodgers like me! However, having bitten the bullet and paid up, I thought it was worth it as the main waterfall particularly is amazing. For the best view, you have to “paddle”.
