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.

  • 9.2 Trace- 100- the Day Our World Changed
    Trace Trace: 100: The Day our World Changed By Elizabeth Bennett Abstract On August 3rd 2014, I attended a performance of WildWorks’ 100: The Day our World Changed, a continuous theatrical event from dawn till dusk, travelling from the harbour of Cornish town Mevagissey to the nearby Lost Gardens of Heligan. The Treymayne family have owned the Heligan Estate for over 400 years, providing employment in various forms to the surrounding three parishes of Mevagissey, St Ewe and Gorran. Due to storm damage and decades of inattention, the gardens were discovered in a derelict state in 1990, when John Nelson and Tim Smit led a groundbreaking restoration project. The Lost Gardens of Heligan now welcomes 200,000 visitors a year. Nelson and Smit made a vital discovery within days of their initial explorations – the old gardeners’ toilet (Thunderbox Room) – where the pencilled names of past staff on the wall caught their imagination and respect. In August 1914, twenty- three outdoor staff were recorded in the labour books; by 1917 there were just eight. This performance grew from a desire by the Heligan Estate to: “honour and commemorate not just the Lost Gardeners from the Heligan Estate but all the people and the families locally whose world was changed in August 1914” (WildWorks, Programme). Using field notes, snatched impressions, visceral responses from embodied memory, and subsequent access to the performance script to clarify my scribbled sentences, this paper aims to trace what has remained with me. This piece of creative remembering is influenced by, and inflected with, my thesis research into landscape processes of biography, affect, 95 Platform, Vol.
