Two miles to the north of Lizard Village lies the secluded Kynance Cove, considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the world with its turquoise sea and white sands, hidden from view among towering cliffs. There are many interconnected caves to be explored at low tide but high tide can be quite an exciting experience on a stormy day. A few miles further along this stretch of coast the beautiful picture- postcard harbour at Mullion Cove protects a small fishing fleet from the ferocious Atlantic storms. The Lizard village is a thriving coastal community throughout the year and has a local public house, junior school, nursery, various shops, a doctor’s surgery, garage, post office, galleries, restaurants, cafes, as well as football and sports clubs. This is also an area which boasts a number of scuba diving schools.

    HELFORD RIVER SURVEY A survey of the Pisces (Fish) of the Helford Estuary A Report to the Helford Voluntary Marine Conservation Area Group funded by the World Wide Fund for Nature U.K. and English Nature P A Gainey 1999 1 Summary The Helford Voluntary Marine Conservation Area (hereafter HVMCA) was designated in 1987 and since that time a series of surveys have been carried out to examine the flora and fauna present. In this study no less that eighty species of fish have been identified within the confines of the HVMCA. Many of the more common fish were found to be present in large numbers. Several species have been designated as nationally scarce whilst others are nationally rare and receive protection at varying levels. The estuary is obviously an important nursery for several species which are of economic importance. A full list of the fish species present and the protection some of them receive is given in the Appendices Nine species of fish have been recorded as new to the HVMCA.

    Geoscience in south-west England IMPACT OF MINING ON THE SEDIMENT GEOCHEMISTRY AND MINERALOGY OF THE HELFORD RIVER, CORNWALL D. PIRRIE1, M.R. POWER1, G. ROLLINSON1,3, A.B. CUNDY2 AND D.C. WATKINS1 Pirrie, D., Power, M.R., Rollinson, G., Cundy, A.B. and Watkins, D.C. 2002. Impact of mining on the sediment geochemistry and minerology of the Helford River, Cornwall. Geoscience in south-west England, 10, 323-328. The geochemistry and mineralogy of the intertidal sediments of the Helford River, Cornwall have been examined to assess the potential impact of mining activity on sediment supply. Cores from Polpenwith and Polwheveral creeks show a pulse in Sn (1000-1100 ppm), Cu (800-900 ppm) and Zn (500-600 ppm) at a depth of 30 cm below the present day sediment surface; As and Pb values are typically low and show little down-core variation (<130 ppm As and <78 ppm Pb). Two cores recovered near Gweek have generally low and invariant down-core geochemical signatures, except for a single sample from the base of Core 2 which shows a sudden increase in Sn to >1800 ppm. In addition, two cores were collected from the mouth of Mawgan Creek. Core 4 shows a low but invariant geochemical signature but Core 3 shows a significant down-core increase in Sn (>1900 ppm Sn), Cu (588 ppm) and Zn (1297 ppm). The heavy mineral assemblage is dominated by cassiterite, chalcopyrite and sphalerite, along with less abundant zircon, monazite, ilmenite, rutile/anatase, sphene, wolframite, barite and rare slag products. Diagenetic pyrite, bornite and Fe oxides also occur.

  • 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.

  • MA14 Policy Development Zone: PDZ5
    Location reference: Helford Management Area reference: MA14 Policy Development Zone: PDZ5 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly SMP2 Final Report Chapter 4 PDZ5 34 February 2011 DISCUSSION AND DETAILED POLICY DEVELOPMENT Adopting a no active intervention policy Helford River along the at Gweek undefended estuary banks meets the wider scale objectives of the Fal & Helford SAC. Some small- scale flooding risks exist at Porth Navas, St Anthony in Meneage. Managed realignment in the Gweek area (excluding Gweek Quay) could provide valuable intertidal habitat creation opportunities. There are numerous historic sites across the undefended parts of the estuary which may potentially be adversely impacted or ultimately lost under a no active intervention approach. Recreational use would generally be unaffected by the plan. Generally it is felt the application of a broad-scale NAI approach will support the unspoilt beauty and tranquility which exists across the whole estuary. Locations where some intervention is necessary are therefore the exception and only in response to localised risks. The designated habitats of the SAC (which includes sandbanks, mudflats and sandflats, large shallow inlets and bays and Atlantic salt meadows) are provided with the best chance to naturally adapt to sea level rise through the NAI approach. Natural topography, sediment availability and changes in the tidal prism will influence exactly how these habitats adapt and over what extent. At Durgan, several listed properties are indicated to be at risk. The settlement is principally owned by the National Trust. The approach here would be not to constrain natural processes, to invoke non-interventional approach and to allow property to be lost over time.
