Calenick Creek 12.5
Summary management approach
Do not place any permanent constraint on the natural evolution of the estuary. A more detailed assessment of future flood risks to commercial and residential properties will guide future management, with broad intention to realign current shoreline position to increase the resilience of the community while also creating more intertidal habitat.
Generic approach assigned to this unit
Management approaches depend on funding and relevant approvals and permissions. Adaptation to coastal change may be needed. If defences are present, some risk from flooding, erosion or ground instability may remain.
Time periods (short (0 to 20 years), medium (20 to 50 years) and long (50 to 100)) are approximate and do not signify precise dates of management transitions.
0 to 20 years (2005 to 2025)
MR7Managed realignmentPlaceholder
Managed realignment or defence activity may apply only to parts of this shoreline. The approach in this location may be especially dependent upon the outcome of further studies, economic assessments, the rate of coastal change or the actions of other asset owners affected by coastal change. As these become clearer, the management intention will be clarified.
20 to 50 years (2025 to 2055)

All actions are subject to funding and approval, often by other parties than the Lead Organisation shown.
| Reference Number | Action Description | Action Lead Organisation | Action Progress Status | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 17.178 | Develop Fal and Helford Intertidal Habitat and Sedimentation Strategy. This should define sedimentation monitoring and other evidence requirements to improve understanding of evolution of Special Area of Conservation (SAC) features over the long term, maintain its condition and determine timescales for managed realignment. Develop an evidence base available for strategic planning and investment in risk management. Include a review of SAC boundary to include all mudflat and saltmarsh habitats at Mylor Creek, Navas, and Gweek Restronguet to Devoran, Tresillian, Penryn, Porth, Ruan Lanihorne, Truro - Upper Basin. | Environment Agency | Progressing | High |
| 17.049 | Carry out a study to inform managed realignment within Calenick Creek (including the eastern end where the unit links with the southern end of Lighterage Wharf), which should reduce risks to property and infrastructure, and provide a minimum of 4.6ha of potential area for intertidal habitat migration by 2055. This is is important for mitigating the impacts of coastal squeeze on the Special Area of Conservation due to defence activity causing habitat loss on nearby frontages. | Environment Agency | Not yet started | Medium |
| 17.207 | Undertake Environment Agency Fal Tidal Modelling study | Environment Agency | Complete |
