We cannot protect what we do not understand.

​

Helford Marine Research is dedicated to providing the best possible environment for scientists and conservationists from around the world to study marine, coastal and estuarine ecosystems.

​

We are working to establish a bespoke, state-of-the-art Marine Research Station at Port Navas on the Helford River.

​

In partnership with the Duchy of Cornwall, we plan to bring new life to a disused oyster quay, by creating a fully accessible scientific facility where institutions and individual researchers can combine laboratory and field work.

​

The research station, sustainably designed in a way that respects the heritage and location of the original building, will provide a rare opportunity to understand, protect and conserve this unique ecosystem for generations to come.
