Trevone and Rocky Beach are now part of a marine conservation
zone, which is terrific news for local wildlife. This stretch of coastline is
characterised by rocky shores and sandy bays, and it has a mandate to protect
extensive rocky outcrops and reefs that support rich underwater communities,
just like those found at Rocky!
The Marine Conservation Zone covers an area from the shore
line out to sea (at approx. 50 metres deep). Trevone has one of the most
extensive rocky shores on the North Cornwall coast. All manner of marine plants
and creatures live there, from algae grazing limpets through to filter feeding
mussels and barnacles.
Perhaps with this status, South West Water will take greater
care when considering a sewage discharge.
