Good morning. The charity Wild Planet Trust has confirmed that it wants to sell Newquay Zoo, as well as its sister zoo in Paignton, owing to financial difficulties. Newquay Zoo employees as many as 70 people in summer, and looks after about 850 animals, including 49 endangered species.
The trust spends about £5,000 a day to run the zoo, and those costs are constantly increasing, so it needs to save £1 million a year to continue.
Chief executive of the trust, Stephen Kings, reported that he had received enquiries from organisations in the UK and Europe, and that he hoped that a new owner might soon be found. He added that the two zoos were still open and operating normally.

The new season for oyster fishing in the River Fal began in October, but the rules concerning the size of the oysters which can be caught by local fishermen have changed. For more than 100 years, one could catch oysters measuring 2.6 inches or more in the River Fal, but this year, the government has increased that size to at least 2.8 inches. The Cornwall Inshore Fisheries Conservation Authority said that the rules were changed so that more oysters might remain in the river and breed. The local fishermen catch the oysters in the traditional way, dredging them or hand-picking them from their sailing boats. Fishmonger Giles Gilbert said, “There’s only a dozen or so boats that fish oysters in the world this way. It’s totally unique”.

The Isles of Scilly Steamship Group has bought a refurbished plane so that it can provide services between Southampton and the Channel Islands.
The Twin Otter plane was built and refurbished in Canada, and it had to be flown more than 4,000 miles from the Rocky Mountains to Cornwall.
The chief executive of Skybus, Jonathan Hinkles, said that this was the first plane to be bought by the company for ten years, and described the event as an “exciting milestone”. Skybus and Aurigny are working together on this project, and, as well as flying to the Channel Islands, they plan to use the new plane to provide services between Land’s End, Newquay and Exeter. It is hoped that the new services will begin in November.
And that’s all from me for this week. Until next time!
