marine
71% of our planet's surface is covered by water. If we mess it up that's just about three quarters of the earth in trouble; so let's all get stuck in to look after this beautiful "Blue Planet." Cornwall, as a county, has the longest continuous coastline Cornwall in England. As we all know, she revels in a jaw-dropping wealth of coastal and estuarine environments, not to mention her beautiful rivers and often lesser known inland waters.
