STOP THE FALMOUTH BAY DREDGE

STOP THE FALMOUTH BAY DREDGE — 21 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

Stop the proposed dredging of 850,000 tonnes of contaminated seabed in Falmouth Bay. Protect marine life, water quality, fisheries and wild swimming. We call for no capital dredging and a revised, environmentally sustainable redevelopment that safeguards our internationally protected waters.

Additional details

Plans to dredge 850,000 tonnes of seabed from Falmouth Bay could disturb sediments containing TBT, lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, copper, nickel, zinc, chromium, PCBs, PAHs and petroleum hydrocarbons. These pollutants can persist in the marine environment and threaten wildlife, fisheries, water quality and recreation. We call for no capital dredging and a genuinely sustainable redevelopment. Please sign and share this petition to help protect Falmouth Bay.
