The following graph shows the biomass of size cockle for each bed, from 2017 to July 2024 for comparison. Bars framed in black indicate the bed was opened that year. Flookburgh, Leven and Pilling are the three beds up for consideration following the July survey results. Further information specific to these beds is provided below. For further information on Aldingham and Newbiggin and Middleton, please see the full survey results here: https://www.nw-ifca.gov.uk/app/uploads/Agenda-Item-6-Survey-and-Inspection-Report-August-2024.pdf Flookburgh / Leven July 2024 results Density of size on Flookburgh: 16 per m² Density of undersize: 24 per m² *please note Leven is proposed for opening due to it’s proximity to Flookburgh, to have clear enforcement bounds and because much of the bed has such low stock it is considered there is a low likelihood of being fished. The size composition of cockle is mixed across the bed, with many locations containing more than 50% undersize. The area is broadly split by a channel running from Grange-over-sands and out from Humphrey Head. The area is accessible by quadbike. There is a large amount of cockle approaching size.
