A port that could threaten marine life in England's Fal Estuary

Mark Deeble, Victoria Stone
1985 Oryx  
The Fal Estuary, with its eelgrass meadows, its reef of red calcareous seaweeds and its mix of southern and northern species of marine life, contains a Voluntary Marine Reserve. As its name implies, such designation does not give it any legal protection. It is listed in The IUCN Invertebrate Red Data Book as a threatened community and is in immediate danger from a proposal to build a container port on the opposite shore.
