Sensitive marine habitats of Seagrass and
Maerl have been marked using Gylly's infamous yellow buoys by Falmouth Harbour with the Ocean Conservation Trust and their main partners Plymouth Gin.

These Buoys mark the 4-knot speed limit for the Bay and this year they also carry an important message too.
"Seagrass and Maerl provide valuable services to coastal communities.
They absorb carbon from the atmosphere and lock it away in the sediments helping with climate change and at the same time release oxygen.
They also provide important habitats for lots of commercial and rare species of fish and shellfish. Seagrass also creates a network of roots that help to stabilise the sand and shore whilst the fronds dampen the effects of storms" say Falmouth Harbour.

Both Seagrass and Maerl are sensitive to the physical impacts caused by anchoring and mooring; although there are no rules on anchoring within the bay or any No Anchor Zones, the Buoys are hoping to highlight where these areas of marine habitats are and provide water users with more information as to how to protect the longevity of this environment.

Clear your calendars as this will an event you do not want to miss!

Since the unfortunate news that this year's Celtic Cup will not go ahead, we have been working hard to find a replacement event in Cornwall.

We can now officially announce that we have managed to do this with a replacement event being held on July 9th off the stunning Gylly beach in Falmouth.

Our outline plans are to run Technical and Distance races for SUP, Prone, NISCO & the Challenge Tour. For the Juniors, we will have clinics and racing as well.

This new event will also be the Team England qualifiers for the ISA Worlds as previously planned for this weekend.

Full event details to follow shortly.
