Title: Dredging a deep-water channel to Falmouth Harbour Post by: Chris from Nailsea on November 08, 2008, 14:41:33 From the Western Morning News:
Quote Dredging a deep-water channel to Falmouth Harbour to open it up to larger vessels can be done without harming the environment, a major new study has revealed. The operation would make it possible for some of the world's largest cruise liners to dock at the Cornish harbour town. Yesterday findings of the ^410,000 environmental impact assessment (EIA) were revealed. The EIA was carried out by environmental consultants Royal Haskoning with Natural England and the Environment Agency. Funding came from the South West Regional Development Agency and the Objective One Partnership. The overall project is being run by Falmouth Harbour Commissioners and supported by a range of local marine businesses including A&P Falmouth Ltd.
