Good morning. A group of campaigners, Wreck Free Fal, is trying to deal with the large number of boats that have been abandoned in the Fal and Helford rivers.
According to the group, hundreds of boats, built about 50 years ago or more, have been left to rot in these rivers.
Jake Burnyeat of Wreck Free Fal said, "They rot away, leaking diesel and oil and toxic paints and, ultimately, microplastics into the ocean."
Although it is illegal to abandon a boat, it isn鈥檛 easy to find its owner. So, the group wants the government to set up a registration system for all boats, similar to the one in France.
For the time being, however, Wreck Free Fal is working with Tregothnan Estate to remove as many abandoned boats as they can.

The High Sheriff of Cornwall, Sam Goldsworthy, has visited Mexico as part of a series of events to commemorate our shared mining history.
Two hundred years ago, in 1824, thousands of Cornish miners went to Pachuca and Real del Monte in central Mexico to mine gold and silver.
Mr Galsworthy met the British ambassador and the mayor of Real del Monte as part of these celebrations.
That region is known as Little Cornwall and Cornish style engine houses can be seen there which have been maintained in good condition by the local people.
Mr Galsworthy also visited a cemetery where many Cornish people are buried. He said, 鈥"The gravestones here bear the name of Jenkins, Fox, Ludlow, Pengelly, Newlyn... it goes on and it goes on鈥.

Many whales have been spotted recently around the north coast of Cornwall, and it seems that a lot of visitors are coming to watch them from every part of the UK.
Bex Allen, who is a marine conservation officer for Cornwall Wildlife Trust, described the whales as 鈥渁 great ambassador for the marine environment鈥.
Speaking about one particular humpback whale, she said, "People can see it really well from the coast, so that's not doing the whale any harm, it's completely unaware of our presence鈥.
She reported that some boats were approaching the whales but that they were behaving carefully and going very slowly.
Ms Allen added that eco-tourism was 鈥渁 great thing when it鈥檚 done the right way鈥.
And that鈥檚 all from me for this week. Until next time!

This week鈥檚 An Nowodhow was written and presented by Steve Penhaligon and edited by Steve Harris.
