‘Small changes can make a big difference’: how getting farmers, fishers and beavers together could save a Cornish river
-
On a rocky beach in Cornwall, a group of wetsuit-clad freedivers and snorkellers are wading into the shallows. Below St Mawes Castle, built by Henry VIII to defend Falmouth harbour, they disappear in a swish of florescent pink and green fins.
They are volunteers, trained by the Cornwall Wildlife Trust to use underwater cameras and floating GPS devices to detect changes in marine habitats over time.
Their work is vital because beneath the surface of Falmouth’s busy natural harbour, known as Carrick Roads, are two of the UK’s most biodiverse and carbon-rich marine habitats: lush seagrass meadows and purple-pink carpets of ancient maerl – a rare and fragile coral-like seaweed. They are some of the largest such beds in England.
