Researchers are beginning to conclude that there may be a link between bad weather and sharks behaviour. Sharks have a very acute sensory system, and now its been put forward that they can detect pressure changes in the atmosphere.

[Arthurian legends back in Tintagel to campaign for proper sewage treatment]
Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) campaigners have today welcomed Hilary Benn, Secretary Of State for the Environment decision to refuse South West Water permission to carry on dumping raw sewage at Tintagel and Bossiney
by Richard Hardy
09/05/2008:// South West Water had plans to continue to discharge poorly treated sewage at Tintagel and Bossiney, a system unimproved since King Arthur’s days!
SAS campaigners worked closely with local resident group TAIST (Tintagel Against Inferior Sewage Treatment) and helped them prepare evidence for the Public Inquiry. SAS campaigners were also called to give expert witness testimony during the Inquiry and went even further by inviting King Arthur, Merlin and Sir Campaignalot along to its opening day. See the short campaign film at:

The Planning Inspector and the Secretary of State, Hilary Benn agreed with SAS and TAIST, that Tintagel and Bossiney should be considered a single community and therefore it required secondary level sewage treatment as a minimum level under the EU Urban Waste Water Directive. South West Water’s proposal had attempted to split the communities in half, which would have reduced the population size of each below the 2000 population threshold and in doing so ruling them both out of having to apply secondary level treatment.
Richard Hardy, SAS Campaign Director says: “We are delighted that the Secretary of State and the Planning Inspector have come to this decision. It seemed a no-brainer really, but we needed the legendary campaigning skills of King Arthur and the magic of Merlin to see this proposal rejected. The biggest thumbs up though has to go to local campaign group TAIST, who have done a fantastic job in showing just what a local grassroots community group can do if there is an environmental challenge to be overcome.”
