	Fal Publications
		The names of rivers are some of the oldest and most mysterious words in the English language - the word fal is an old Celtic word, meaning either whirlpool or prince, as well as the name of one of the most beautiful rivers in the world.
		For over two thousand years, the River Fal has been the life-blood of the local community around Truro and Falmouth and even now, the local shipping news shows Falmouth, in land terms often seen as a remote peninsula on a peninsula, is in fact still central to the world of the high seas and oceans.
		The Fal Estuary is a drowned river or 'ria’ and its many creeks and inlets open into the third largest natural harbour in the world.

	River Fal - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography

	The Fal Estuary and Area
		The Fal Estuary is a drowned river or 'ria'.
		The winding character of the Fal is a result of it being a drowned river valley, submerged by a rapid rise in sea level after the last ice age.
		Because the Helford River is sheltered, its marine wildlife also flourishes with the rich supply of nutrients carried by the tide, The whole river is designated a Voluntary Marine Conservation Area, and the local community are very active in its management.

	Mining Activity in the Fal Estuary Catchment
		Broadly speaking, tributaries to the west received mine waste tailings from the nearby metal mining districts, whereas sediment input from the eastern side of the estuary was associated with both tin streaming and the extraction of china clay from the St. Austell mining district.
		Analysis of the chemistry of Bronze Age artefacts (Bronze is an alloy of tin and copper) suggests that in the early Bronze Age the tin for bronze was recovered from south west England.
		Within the Fal Estuary area, streamworks were located within the valleys of the Carnon River, the River Fal and the Tresillian River.

	Mining Waste Products
		The early working of china clay was by hand, the river sediment was removed, and then diverted river water was used to separate the coarse sand from the clay, fine sand and mica; a process referred to as ‘breaking in the stream’.
		Indeed the Kernick River was usually referred to as the White River due to its load of china clay.
		The problem of the release of china clay waste was recognised as early as 1910 when the River Fal became highly polluted and a tax was suggested (Barton, 1966).

	Cornish Fishing and Seafood : Oysters
		Perhaps the most sustainable fishery in Cornwall is the Fal River oyster fishery (officially known as the Port of Truro Oyster fishery), the last oyster fishery in Europe harvested under sail by Europe’s last commercial sailing fleet.
		Here on the River Fal native oysters (oystera edulis) have been harvested in more or less the same, highly sustainable, fashion, without the use of mechanical power, for more than 500 years.
		Further up the river in the narrower and less accessible, shallow creeks, the single-handed self-propelled haul-tow punts use oars and a winch to cross the water.

	Industries, rivers and waste - W03
		The river that ran through St Austell was called the "White River" because of the clay particles in it, and fish and animal life in the river was very limited.
		The River Fal used to run white quite often too, but because the levels of particles were less than in the White River, eels and brown trout were still able to survive.
		We may not be able to alter the way the land was used in the past, but with an eye to the future steps can be taken to safe guard the environment for wildlife.

	The River Fal and Falmouth Harbour, 1876
		Old river men sigh after the abundance of other days, when fish were plentiful indeed, when more oysters could be taken in one hour than can now be dredged, with better appliances, in a whole day; and the ebbing nets and hooks were weighted at almost every pull.
		The river rises near Hensbarrow in the parish of Roche, passing by Grampound and Tregony, about three miles below which it is navigable for light craft, though formally the tides flowed past the very doors of Tregony town to Haleboat rock beyond.
		In its downward course the fal passes close to the Church of Ruan Lanyhorne, which was dedicated to S. Rumonus, October, 1321.

		Dr Bright went on to give credit to the Cornwall Rivers Project which he felt had made a significant contribution to the rehabilitation of the Atlantic salmon; this was endorsed by Simon Toms, Fisheries, Recreation and Biodiversity Team Leader for the Environment Agency.
