  • South Devon Estuaries Environmental Management Plan 2018 – 2024
    South Devon Estuaries Environmental Management Plan 2018 – 2024 Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty www.southdevonaonb.org.uk 1 South Devon Estuaries Key facts The AONB contains the five estuaries of the Yealm, Erme, Avon, Salcombe-Kingsbridge and Dart. The far west is bordered by Plymouth Sound. They are a defining feature of the South Devon AONB. All are ria-type estuaries, drowned river valleys, formed by the eroding action of rivers carving through the surface geology and flooding to their present geography towards the end of the last Ice Age. The Salcombe-Kingsbridge estuary is a classic dendritic-ria with its many finger-like ria-formed creeks. All of our estuaries are unique in their own ways and range from the highly freshwater dominated Dart estuary to the highly seawater dominated Salcombe- Kingsbridge estuary – some describing it as a tidal marine inlet. Being ria-formed, they tend to be deep watered and have become important and popular ports and water-based recreation designations; they range from the small privately owned Erme estuary that does fully drain at low tide to the more cosmopolitan Dart estuary that attracts some of the world’s largest cruise liners. All of our estuaries still retain large areas of relatively unspoilt and undeveloped bed, foreshore and shoreline but with their considerable history of human use and harvesting, none can be described as being completely natural or unspoilt. However, they supply considerable ‘ecosystem services’ to the local natural beauty and communities and several are formally designated and protected in recognition of their rich and diverse natural history.

The Marine Biological Association of the UK (MBA) chose the estuary and the parish of Newton and Noss to host its 10th BioBlitz, as part of a local initiative to celebrate the area’s wildlife. The Life on the Yealm initiative has involved providing training and activities for school children, teachers and the local community. Steered by the interests and aspirations of local residents, events have been organised by the MBA with funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund, The Yealm Waterside Homes, the Royal Society of Biology and Plymouth Radio. The Yealm BioBlitz, held on 13th & 14th July, was the focal point for the initiative, enabling participants of all levels of expertise and ages to take part in a wide range of fun, educational and scientific data collection activities, which helped to identify and record the wide range of species living in the area.
