ADUR WORLD OCEANS DAY 2012


ADUR WORLD OCEANS DAY 2012
Understanding and celebrating our marine environment

Saturday  9 June 2012 
Time: 
9:00 am to 4:00 pm
12th Anniversary 


For the twelfth successive year, Shoreham-by-Sea will be celebrating the international World Oceans Day with an all day environmental fayre about the local sea and seashore.  The exhibition will take place under the marquee on Coronation Green (on the town side of Shoreham footbridge) all day on Saturday 9th June on the second weekend of the Adur Festival. Len Nevell will be present with the lobsters and crabs, and there will be aquarium and strandline exhibits of what lives under the sea off the Sussex coasts.
"The idea is to give the younger children a first hand experience of the undersea world, to show them some of the creatures, small fish, crabs and other strange animals that live in our oceans. Several national initiatives have now caught up with the lack of contact of nature that young children have." (Quote by Andy Horton) Experts will be on hand to answer questions and identify anything washed up on the seashore and seen beneath the waves. Wildlife writer Steve Savage will present the whale and dolphin exhibition with the life sized replica of a Bottle-nosed Dolphin. The Friends of Shoreham Beach (FOSB) will again take an active role with their display of the wonders of Shoreham Beach with opportunities for children of all ages to participate. There is still space for wildlife, heritage groups, other local community groups, volunteers and anybody interested in the oceans and wildlife to participate.

World Oceans Day was first declared as 8th June at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. Events will occur all around the world on and around this day, which now enjoys the support of the United Nations on the sustainable use of the resources of the oceans. In June 1992, over 150 Heads of States signed the Convention on Biological Diversity at Rio de Janeiro. They did so to express a shared belief that action must be taken to halt the worldwide loss of animal and plant species and genetic resources.

Adur World Oceans Day is a collaborative project by various groups including the British Marine Life Study Society, the Sea Watch Foundation, Friends of Shoreham Beach, the Ouse & Adur Rivers Trust and other groups, with support from Adur District Council.

Other events will take place in East Street and Shoreham town centre on the same day, including the monthly Farmers Market and the Food & Drink Festival. (David Steadman is the contact for further details of what else is going on.)

In 2008, the United Nations General Assembly decided that, as from 2009, 8 June would be designated by the United Nations as “World Oceans Day” (resolution 63/111, paragraph 171). Many countries have celebrated World Oceans Day following the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, which was held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992.

The oceans are essential to food security and the health and survival of all life, power our climate and are a critical part of the biosphere. The official designation of World Oceans Day is an opportunity to raise global awareness of the current challenges faced by the international community in connection with the oceans.

I like to see the event as a team effort and I am pleased that we are part of a bigger environmental festival. This what I envisaged at the very beginning but it takes time for everything to come together.

SECRETS OF SHOREHAM

Friday 16 January 2008 @ 7:30 pm
SECRETS OF SHOREHAM
Presentation and Discussion
Talk by Andy Horton

What all the people of Shoreham should know about their town. And what is not written in Henry Cheal's books or in Freddie Feest's Shoreham Herald columns. Bring your critical facilities with you, because lots of the material is new thinking. Written under the pseudonym of Questor Stanton, the format asks questions and then I attempt to find out the answers. e.g .Who were the first Shorehamites? Where was Pende? What does the name Hulkesmouth mean? How did the Marlipins get its name? Who were the Butterfly Collectors?
Venue: St. Peter's Church Hall, West Street
Members £2, others £3

LEONARDO DI CAPRIO in THE 11th HOUR

"The truth of the matter is, Gore's film was a launching platform for this one" – Di Caprio. "I expected something impressive... But The 11th Hour takes the debate about the environment to a whole new level. It places the problems we're now mostly aware of in the context of something bigger... It is shockingly ambitious, and it works" – The Ecologist.

This is an educational fayre for sustainable activities.

NOTES ABOUT WORLD OCEANS DAY

In June 1992, the UK Prime Minister and over 150 other Heads of States signed the Convention on Biological Diversity at Rio de Janeiro. They did so to express a shared belief that action must be taken to halt the worldwide loss of animal and plant species and genetic resources.

World Oceans Day was first declared as 8th June at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. Events will occur all around the world on and around
this day.

Cattle all over Mill Hill

30 January 2006

There are cattle all over Mill Hill from Old Erringham Farm enriching the low nutrient hillsides with their dung and threatening the flora (Horseshoe Vetch) and the internationally important population of Chalkhill Blue Butterflies. It looks like the fence was broken down deliberately, probably at the instigation of the South Downs Conservation Board on public land given to the people of Shoreham. There is also the danger or erosion, breaking up the steps under the hooves of the cattle and reduction of the amenity value of the downs. They were timid cattle and they were shooed of the vulnerable lower slopes by the public.

1 February 2006
The cattle have now been removed.
