Marine Natural History of Lee Bay, Lynton, North Devon, UK. 44pp. Summary Lee Bay, Lynton forms part of the North Devon coastline, which is part of the central southern boundary of the Bristol Channel. This coastline terrain is formed of Devonian slate and the Lynton Formation. While much research has been conducted on the geology, geography and archaeology, little research has been conducted on the ecology of the intertidal or subtidal area. This report summarises the intertidal ecological knowledge of Lee Bay, the potential threats to this ecosystem, the active organisations within this area and points to potential further work, especially as this stretch of coastline is part of the Bideford to Foreland Point Marine Conservation Zone, within Exmoor National Park and within the transition zone of the North Devon Biosphere Reserve. This is to provide a baseline for anyone interested in conducting further surveys in the future. Few reports and little data cover this part of the North Devon coastline. However, one report from 40 years ago conducted biological surveys across Exmoor National Park’s rocky shores, including two around Lee Bay. Combined species lists from previous studies and this study’s fieldwork reached 110 intertidal species. Some interesting species of note include: one sandy habitat marine worm (a polychaete - Nephtys sp.), this low number reflects the lack of nutrients retained in the coarse sand that would usually attract polychaetes and other sand dwelling species. Furthermore, six different species of anemone were identified - beadlet (Actinia equina) and snakelocks anemones (Anemonia viridis) being the two most common. In addition, this study also identified two top shells (the thick top shell (Phorcus (Osillinus) lineatus) and flat or purple top shell (Gibbula umbillicalis)). These can be useful climate change indicators. We conclude that Lee Bay has a low to medium species richness and diversity. However, the comparison of the species lists from 40 years ago to the present indicates that the species assemblage has not changed much. In light of various increasing pressures on the UK coastal species and habitats, this is a positive sign for the future of Lee Bay. However, these pressures, including pollution and climate change induced sea warming, are likely to become increasingly prevalent in the coming years. i Table of Contents Summary ........................................................................................ i Introduction .................................................................................. 1 Natural History .............................................................................. 1 Intertidal Marine Ecology ................................................................ 2 North Devon ................................................................................. 4 Aims and Objectives ...................................................................... 7 Methods ......................................................................................... 7 Site Selection - Lee Bay, Lynton ...................................................... 7 Desktop Research .......................................................................... 8 Fieldwork - Habitat Mapping and Species Abundance .......................... 8 Results ........................................................................................ 10 Previous Research on Lee Bay ....................................................... 10 Species Findings .......................................................................... 11 Phase 1 Habitat Survey ................................................................ 14 Discussion ................................................................................... 15 Lee (Abbey) Bay, Lynton .............................................................. 15 Ecology.................................................................................... 15 Conservation Groups and Designated Areas ................................. 18 Threats and Conservation Issues ................................................... 19 Anthropogenic Climate Change ................................................... 19 Pollution .................................................................................. 20 Fishing and Over Harvesting ....................................................... 20 Energy Production ..................................................................... 21 Conclusions and Future Management? ........................................ 23 Acknowledgements ..................................................................... 25 References .................................................................................. 26 Appendices .................................................................................. 31 Appendix 1 – List of species from all surveys identified for the intertidal zone of Lee Bay, Lynton ............................................................... 31 Appendix 2 – List of species from all surveys identified for the subtidal zone of Lee Bay, Lynton ............................................................... 37 Appendix 3 – JNCC Phase 1 biotope descriptions and conservation status within the Bideford to Foreland Point Marine Conservation Zone ........ 40 Appendix 4 – Bideford to Foreland Point Marine Conservation Zone protected features (source: DEFRA, 2016) ...................................... 42 ii Introduction Natural History Ecological science has become extremely specialised and we often assume we know all we need to know about the world around us in order to conserve it. Yet beginning a research project in a location that is new to a researcher or organisation raises many questions as to how to move forward conservation efforts. What species are there? What habitats are even possible to study? What do we already know? Lee Bay, Lynton (herein referred to as Lee Bay) is the home of Lee Abbey Devon, a Christian conference centre (51°13'40.19"N, 3°51'58.66"W) (Figure 1). Significant conservation work has been completed on the land looked after by Lee Abbey Devon (supported by A Rocha UK), but there became a desire to begin to explore how to take better care of the marine environment. In order to investigate marine conservation options for this site, we needed to understand what is there and what has already been done. Time and resources limited the scope of this study and so we focused our field research on one particular habitat, the intertidal zone (defined as the area between the high water mark and low water mark). Literature surveys were completed to understand the wider ecology and to collate any previous data on the species assemblage of Lee Bay. 1 Figure 1.

Intertidal Marine Ecology The intertidal zone represents the interface of land and sea. This zone is exposed to the elements at low tide and then inundated with seawater at high tide. The assemblage of species in intertidal marine ecology is influenced by this physical environment as well as the interdependence of intertidal organisms and wider scale interactions between all the marine environments (Little et al. 2009). These all interact around four key gradients: sea-to-land, horizontal wave action, particle size and marine- freshwater (Dahlhoff et al. 2002, Raffaelli and Hawkins 2012). Across these gradients, and between interactions of them, abiotic (physical) and biotic (biological) factors play key roles in determining the species assemblages and the unique zonation pattern for each shoreline (Raffaelli and Hawkins 2012). 2 Among the various biotic factors influencing intertidal plant and animal morphological, physiological and (for animals) behavioural mechanisms; aerial exposure and wave action are of particular note (Dahlhoff et al. 2002, Raffaelli and Hawkins 2012). Depending on the location across the sea-to-land gradient, plants and animals will have periods of time when they are emersed (out of the water) potentially causing loss of water (desiccation) through changes in air temperature, humidity, precipitation and evaporation (Thompson et al. 2002; Helmuth et al.. 2006 and references there in). The species assemblage is further influenced by the wave exposure, depending on their ability to be streamlined and avoid dislodgement (Thompson et al. 2002, Helmuth

Introduction SEVERAL LONG SEISMIC LINES in the Bristol Channel area, full details of which will be presented in later papers, give evidence of a basal layer of high velocity, in the range from 6. I-6. 3 km/s, which is interpreted as being of Lower Palaeozoic or Precambrian age. This layer, which almost certainly does not represent the same geological formation under all lines, lies at shallow depth under the western part of the South Wales Coalfield, deepens southwards into the northern part of the Bristol Channel and rises rapidly towards the north Devon coast. Figure I illustrates reduced time-distance curves for two of the long seismic lines D and F, whose locations are shown in Fig. 2. On each line, a series of offshore shots was fired into a fixed array of land recording stations.

  • North Devon & Torridge Joint Local Plan Examination
    November 2016 North Devon & Torridge Joint Local Plan Examination Hearing Statement on behalf of Chichester Homes Developments Ltd Matter 6: Town Strategies (Braunton) Pre-hearing statement on behalf of Chichester Homes Developments Ltd - Matter 6 (Braunton) 1.0 Introduction 1.1 This hearing statement is submitted on behalf of Chichester Homes Developments Ltd. Chichester Homes Developments Ltd has submitted duly made representations in response to various consultation stages of the draft Plan and welcomes the opportunity to participate in the examination hearings. 1.2 Those representations contained objections to the proposed housing requirement of the Plan, the scale of development directed towards Braunton in comparison to other settlements and the non-allocation of land east of South Park, Braunton, in which Chichester Homes Developments Ltd has an interest. 2.0 Proposed strategy for Braunton 2.1 In particular, those representations argued that the proposed distribution of housing between settlements is unjustified. Other Main Centres, such as South Molton, Northam, Ilfracombe and Great Torrington and Holsworthy are proposed to have significantly higher apportionments of the overall housing requirement than Braunton. 2.2 The proposed housing apportionment for Braunton/Wrafton does not reflect its role and function relative to other Main Centres. Paragraph 10.147 of the Plan states that Braunton is “one of the larger settlements in northern Devon and is an important local service centre providing a range of retail, education, health and community facilities and employment opportunities”. Paragraph 10.148 goes on to state that its population has increased by less than 4% between 2001-10, lower than rates of growth elsewhere in north Devon.

  • Croyde Bay, North Devon
    CROYDE BAY, NORTH DEVON. Grid Ref: SS 43 49 A BEACH PROFILE UNDERTAKEN FOR COASTWISE NORTH DEVON Paul and Ro Madgett 2008 SUMMARY Situated between Saunton Sands and Woolacombe/Putsborough Sands. West-facing sandy beach, backed by dunes and with the rocky headlands of Downend and Baggy Point to the South and North respectively. The rocky shore is excellent for wildlife and includes features such as Sabellaria (fan- worm) reefs, sea hares and sea anemones (including some rare species). Cowrie shells can be found in sandy gullies with careful hunting. One of the best beaches in the UK for experienced surfers, but occasional rip currents - not ideal for learners. Lifeguards present during main season. Good parking and toilets. Seasonal refreshments by main beach entrance and year- round in village. Croyde Bay and Baggy Point, from top of Croyde Burrows DETAIL OF LOCATION AND FACILITIES Croyde Bay, in the parish of Georgeham, is a ½ mile wide west-facing sandy beach sandwiched between the rocky headlands of Downend to the south and Baggy Point to the north. Above these rocky shore platforms, soft rock cliffs rise away from the beach. At the back of the beach, to the east, are sizeable sand dunes (Croyde Burrows) which were stabilised by marram grass some years ago, and through which various footpaths run. The South West Long Distance Path crosses the beach at the base of the dunes. The entire area of Croyde Sands (down to LWM), the dunes, and rocky foreshore to south and north (as far as the parish boundary on Downend, and “Polly’s Gully” along Baggy Point) is in private ownership – at the time of writing (October 2008) understood to be Parkdean Estates, the owners also of the Ruda Caravan Park, the time-share apartments to the north of the beach, plus the chalets and the seasonal camping fields behind the dunes.
