Fowey Estuary Management Plan Section 3 March 2003 The Management Plan Area Section 3 The Management Plan Area The Fowey Estuary contains a diverse wildlife, landscape and built and cultural heritage that is valued by those who live, work and visit the area. The Estuary covers an area of nearly 1000 acres and caters for large numbers of commercial ships, resident and visiting craft, as well as various commercial activities. Most of the land fringing the estuary is owned by large landowners such as The National Trust, RailTrack and the Forestry Authority. Fowey Harbour Commissioners have been the principle managers of the fundus and foreshore of the Fowey Estuary since 1869. The Harbour Commissioners are a self-financing Trust Port that has owned most of the fundus and foreshore since 1933, and its income from moorings and harbour dues cover its expenditure. Other landowners own small stretches of fundus and foreshore. The area covered by this plan lies within the following limits: from Gribbin Head to the eastern end of Lantivet Bay, and stretching north to the tidal limits of the rivers Fowey and Lerryn; and the pills and streams leading into the river, to 5 miles from the centre of the tidal river bed (Figure 1). The work of the Partnership is not restricted to issues that fall solely within the area marked by the boundary of Figure 1. Occasionally a more flexible consideration of this boundary should be recognised, as many issues and opportunities of importance to the estuary overlap or fall outside the boundary. Consequently the Partnership is committed to working on any issue that has an impact on the estuary and uses the boundary as a guide to its work. Evening sun over the entrance to Fowey Harbour Page 8
