during a number of ship visits. During each visit one or two of the four shops reported increased sales over similar days of the week and sometimes takings had doubled on the same day on the previous week. This very crude data unfortunately does not give me the information I need to focus our efforts to attract particular categories of cruise ship. I think we need to do more market research so we can focus our efforts better on attracting future ship visits.
of the environmental responsibilities of the Authority. The DHNA river team have done very well this year when dealing with a number of vessels that were taking on water. In one case all fuels, toxic liquids and batteries were removed and the vessel was moved to a mud berth to prevent it sinking. More recently, it was amazing to get so many volunteers to help clean the banks of the river and that we were able to tie these in with the Great British Beach Clean adver- tised by the Marine Conservation Society(MCS).

information on organising beach clean events and, with help from the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty(AONB) and South Hams District Council, it was possible to coordinate cleaning events led and supported by locals in Totnes, Ashprington, Dittisham and Dartmouth in addition to an RNLI organised event. The experience showed there is great support for efforts like these to improve the quality of the river and we hope to make them more regular and to harness the interest of the community and local businesses.

receive direct from customers, I assess that the DHNA team is doing a great job!
