MPA day at the Fisheries Resource Centre in Newlyn next Monday

Knowledge is power so the saying goes, if that's the case then a visit to the Cornwall Fisheries Resource Centre next Wednesday will provide an opportunity to find out more about Marine Protected Areas (MPA).

If you have any questions, local ex-fisherman, Spike Searle from Finding Sanctuary (sounds more like a tree-hugger's retreat than an organisation dedicated to the well-being of marine life and not to be confused with findingsanctuary ) will be available between 11am and 8pm to discuss their mission to create a network of MPAs in the seas around South West England.
