Section D Achievements and performance

This year we have been so pleased and proud to welcome several volunteers to our group, who have between them made a valuable contribution to our group. We look forward to what the next year will bring with their input of new ideas, enthusiasm and help.

Grants achieved: we received £400 from a local charity – Perranporth Gardens Charities to support our beach cleaning efforts with a beach cleaning station to be positioned on the Promenade. Together with 2 other marine groups in Cornwall, we have been offered more support from Cornwall Wildlife Trust to build a presence in the local community and to receive further training in areas such as social media. In October we were chosen as one of the Co-ops local causes and will be receiving funds as part of their community funding grants. We will be using our funds to run free workshops for the community, with emphasis on inclusion.

The group has contributed to conserving the local environment with regular beach and dune cleans, and this year we twice supported Surfers Against Sewage with their Million Miles Beach clean event, helping them with volunteers and kit.

We have undertaken training on a Shoresearch Survey run by Cornwall Wildlife Trust and aim to hold our own surveys on Perranporth beach in the future, furthering knowledge of species diversification and giving valuable insights into species changes in the light of climate change.

In terms of making the public aware of the natural environment of Perranporth, this year we held two very successful rockpool rambles during the year. The feedback on this was that the participants, in particular children, loved these events and demand is high for more of them. We also added new species to our list for Perranporth beach.

This year, we continued our monthly Seaquest sea watch surveys for marine ‘mega fauna’ which take place from Cligga Head on the first Sunday of every month, in conjunction with other marine groups. We were pleased to be joined by local wildlife enthusiasts.

We have posted extensively on our Facebook page to highlight our work, environmental issues and information about marine life. We have also posted relevant information from other groups and organisations, in particular that of Cornwall Wildlife’s Your Shore projects and the Making Space for Sand (dunes) project, and other charities such as British Divers Marine Life Rescue work and the Seal Research Group. We have also highlighted dangers to wildlife such as flying rings which can harm seals. We have shared relevant job information. Much of the above can be seen on our Facebook Page - See https://www.facebook.com/Perranporth-
