River Yealm Harbour Authority

River Yealm Harbour Authority Statutory Harbour Authority responsible for the management and conservancy of the River Yealm Estuary

The River Yealm Harbour Authority is a statutory body which manages the River Yealm and leases the harbour (except for the Kitley Estate area) from the Crown Estate. The Authority’s function is to regulate the harbour for the benefit of all users and derives its regulatory powers from a Statutory Instrument (the Order), made under the Yealm Harbour Revision Order of 1981 granted under the Harbour, Docks, Piers and Ferries Act of 1964, and Bye Laws.

UPDATE | Missing - Guy Nelson

We continue to be concerned for the welfare of 57-year-old Guy Nelson and are issuing a more recent picture of him.
Guy, from Leamington Spa, was last known to be in or around the Drake’s Island area of Plymouth on Monday 8 September.
Guy had been sailing around Cornwall and Devon on his boat named Swallow (pictured), a Trident 24 yacht, and it is believed it was Guy’s intention to sail from Plymouth along the coast, but he has not been heard from since.
He had previously been in St Dominick in Cornwall, where the new picture was taken on Friday 5 September.
Guy has no known links to Devon and Cornwall other than sailing in the area.
He is described as a white male, 5ft 10ins tall, of medium build, with short curly brown hair and brown eyes. Guy usually wears glasses, a black t-shirt and jeans.
Anybody who has seen Guy or knows or his whereabouts is asked to call 999 quoting log 852 of 17 September.
