A controversial oyster farm on the Helford which is to close is being investigated by the Marine Management Organisation after concerns non-native oysters are spreading in a neighbouring special area of conservation.
After more than 10 years, the Duchy of Cornwall Oyster Farm Company, operated by the Wright Brothers, will stop its operations on the farm at Port Navas next April.
Currently native and non-native Pacific oysters are cultivated there, and the company's had an agreement with authorities to farm only non-fertile Pacific oysters so they can't spread, but concerns have been raised by some environmentalists that rising temperatures have helped them spread.
The Duchy of Cornwall says the joint closure decision would provide an opportunity to consider how the oysterage was used in the future. The Wright Brothers said the farm had created eight full-time, year-round jobs and contributed well over £1m to the local economy.

A Cornish MP says there's been a misunderstanding in a row over whether fishermen can sell surplus fish caught during recreational angling trips.
Boats currently sell such catches through the fish market as a sustainable source of hook-and-line local fish. But the Marine Management Organisation (MMO) says they have to dump it or give it away because it has been caught while the vessel was "operating under a recreational charter".
However, South East Cornwall Conservative Sheryll Murray said she spoke to the MMO, which confirmed that, as long as a vessel had a Category A licence, they were allowed to sell fish at the market - subject to the same quotas as other commercial fishing vessels. She puts the situation down to a misunderstanding and someone being "overzealous" at the MMO.

Not being able to sell surplus fish because it has been caught during recreational angling trips could be a "tipping point" for the industry, a Looe harbour boss says.
Boats currently sell such catches through the fish market as a sustainable source of hook-and-line local fish. But the Marine Management Organisation says they have to dump it or give it away because it has been caught while the vessel was "operating under a recreational charter".
Dave Bond, the chairman of Looe Harbour Commissioners, said: "It's not like we’re cheating anybody, we are licensed boats. But now that extra bit of fish, a few boxes of whiting that might be surplus at the end of the day on a fishing trip, you can't land. It could make an extra £8,000-£10,000 difference to the auction house, which could be the tipping point."
