  • 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.

    " [ 289 ] On the Occurrenceof Echinus esculentus on the Foreshore in the British Isles. By J. H. Orton,D.Se., Chief Naturali8t in the Plymouth Laboratory. CONTENTS. PAGE RECORDS AND SIGNIFICANCEOF OCCURRENCEON THE FORESHORE . 289 DISCUSSION ON SOME FACTORS DETERMINING FORESHORE DISTRIBUTION . 291 Time of Low-water, spring Tides- . 291 Nature and Exposure of the Foreshore . 293 Hydrographic and other Factors . 294 CONCLUSIONS . 295 REFERENCES. 295 RECORDS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF OCCURRENCE ON THE FORESHORE. ECHINUSESCULENTUS,the larger common sea-urchin, occurs in the British Isles between tide-marks on rocky shores at about low-water spring- tide level in the localities given in Table I, page 292. It is, however, absent from apparently suitable foreshores in-the Plymouth district, for reasons which are discussed in the present paper. Chadwick (1) states - that" In Port Erin Bay it may be collected by hand on the beach, and on the ruined breakwater at low water of spring tides." Elmhirst (2) records that" In this district (Millport) E. esculentus occurs abundantly between tide-marks in spring and early summer on rocky coasts; a few may be found at almost any other season. About February or early March a shoreward migration seems to set in, so that in suitable weather conditions some hundreds may be collected at springs between April and June. Then their abundance decreases until about Novem- ber, from when until January it is at a minimum." Storrow (3) reports that these" sea-urchins were plentiful on the local rocks (at Cullercoats, Northumberland) during July of last year (1920)," and it is known that E.
