  • Beadnell Bay Transitional and Coastal Waters Surveys
    Beadnell Bay Transitional and Coastal Waters Surveys March 2016 – February 2017 Report prepared by: Natalie Wallace Northumberland Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority 8 Ennerdale Road Blyth NE24 4RT Tel: 01670 797676 Email: [email protected] Website: www.nifca.gov.uk Abstract The purpose of this report is to assess the state of Transitional and Coastal Waters (TrAC) fish species in Beadnell Bay to evaluate the importance of the site for juvenile fish. Beach seine nets were deployed at 3 locations along the shore, all fish were identified to species level and total length was measured for a sub-sample of each species. A total of 16 fish species were identified. The most common species were Lesser Sandeel (Ammodytes tobianus), Sprat (Sprattus sprattus), Atlantic Herring (Clupea harengus), and Flounder (Pleuronectes flesus). Mean length was below size at maturity values obtained for several species (including herring, sprat and sandeel) suggesting a high number of juveniles occurring at the site. This report is intended to provide baseline information relating to which species and life stages of fish occur at Beadnell Bay, in order to inform future management of the site. Introduction The North Sea is one of the most productive shallow seas in the world (Monaghan, 1992). Shallow- water coastal habitats are highly productive due to factors such as shallow depths, seasonally warm temperatures and nutrients derived from river runoff and are therefore suitable nursery habitats for several commercially important fish species (Stevenson et al., 2014). The abundance of small fish in shallow waters is encouraged due to enhanced survivorship and growth (Gillanders et al., 2003) and a lower risk of predation (Manderson et al., 2004).

Executive Summary • Recent research has highlighted an increasing separation of work and residential location as commuting journey lengths increase. This is particularly the case for rural residents, who tend to have longer commutes than urban residents. Whilst commuters bring money to their place of residence that has been earned outside the locality, they also represent a leakage of money from the locality often commuting for work is associated with commuting for other activities, including retail and leisure spending.
