Pacific Oyster Survey Revisited
Tuesday, 29th October 2019
Venue: FoPB Beach Hut opposite Milos
Time: 10:30 - 14:00 hrs

We shall be revisiting the sites of last years Pacific Oyster survey on behalf of Cornwall Wildlife Trust. This non native species has been becoming increasingly common all around Cornwall and the 2 year project was set up to Monitor its spread and where necessary control its numbers.

We will be conducting this survey along the man-made rock and boulder groynes at the Western end of the beach where Par river joins the bay. Working along the narrower, 2 meter wide, of the groynes, which fitted the survey parameters, last year we reached a total of 600 Pacific oysters, along its length, after two hours work.

Anyone wishing to assist and be involved in this survey will be most welcome.

Meet at the FoPB Beach Hut at 10:30 hrs.
