A busy week for projects here in Newlyn Harbour. Seawide Services have arrived to start the fitting of another ten new fender piles around the Pier and Market, whilst JT Fabrications are fitting our last section of coping and D fendering along the Market also.

Something quite extraordinary has been happening here at Newlyn — and a cancelled flight last week brought it home to me in the most unexpected way.

As Harbour Master I see the catches coming in every day, but I'd never actually sat down and eaten octopus myself. That changed when I found myself stranded at Heathrow and ended up at La Belle Epoque at the Sofitel. On the menu — braised octopus with onion marmalade, roasted butternut purée, capers vinaigrette, tenderstem broccoli and green beans. It was really rather wonderful.

And it came from right here.

Over the past year we've seen an octopus bloom the likes of which hasn't been recorded in British waters for 75 years. Catches have run at almost 65 times the recent annual average, with one of our vessels landing over 20 tonnes in a single trip — a record for the harbour.

Our fleet has adapted brilliantly and we're incredibly proud of them. But most of this octopus still gets exported because we don't eat enough of it at home. If a hotel restaurant at Heathrow can put it on the menu and do it proud, your local fishmonger or restaurant can too.

If you haven't tried Cornish octopus yet, please do seek it out — and share this if you can help spread the word. 🎣 - Jonathan, HM.

My team successfully undertook a tier 2 incident management exercise today, alongside colleagues from Ambipar, and observers from the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, Marine Management Organisation - MMO, and Natural England, demonstrating that our oil spill response plan is effective and relevant. Some small things to improve on, but on the whole very satisfied. Well done all! - Jonathan, HM.

Cornwall Council Roadworks in Newlyn

Newlyn Pier & Harbour Commissioners provided Cornwall Council with feedback on its proposed scheme of roadworks during the public consultation, in which we raised our concerns about access to and from Newlyn Harbour for emergency and commercial vehicles, and made a clear statement that effective traffic management would be of critical importance should the scheme progress.

We are hearing from Newlyn Harbour users that these works are hindering their access to and from the harbour on what is a modestly quiet day for us, and it is clear that the concerns we raised have not been heeded by Cornwall Council. Furthermore, members of the public are taking risks in trying to bypass the traffic by cutting through the Newlyn Fish Market quay, which is both dangerous and disruptive, and we ask that everyone respects the access and parking restrictions around Newlyn Harbour.

It is imperative that Cornwall Council completes these roadworks as swiftly as possible, with active management and all other necessary measures in place, around the clock, to ensure the flow of traffic and minimal disruption to local businesses and residents.

Unfortunately, the parking on the double yellow lines in Barons Square is becoming quite intrusive to Harbour Operations and particularly our need to maintain access to emergency vehicles should they be needed.
I wanted to give plenty of notice to the Community that we will have to start issuing parking tickets to vehicles on the double yellow lines from next week, regardless of the amount of time spent. Please do not park here.

Please be aware of parking restrictions to enable access work.
