Details

The Upper Fowey and Pont Pill MCZs consist of two spatially separate areas. These estuary sites located on the Cornish coast protects a total area of 2 km² making it one of the smallest MCZs. The larger area protects the upper tidal reaches of the Fowey estuary extending to Lostwithiel and including the River Lerryn, Penpoll Creek and Bodmin Pill. The smaller area protects Pont Pill, a tributary estuary flowing into the Fowey on the Eastern side near Polruan.
