:''For other places called "Swanpool" see'' Swanpool (disambiguation) Swanpool ((コーンウォール語:Lynyeyn Pryskelow), meaning ''cold pool of the elm thicket'') is a small coastal saline lagoon with a shingle bar, separating it from the beach of the same name. The South West Coast Path crosses the bar. The pool is near the town of Falmouth, on the south coast of Cornwall, England, between Maenporth and Gyllyngvase. A notable building in the area is Swanpool House, a 19th-century building which was occupied by American forces during the Second World War but is now in use as holiday apartments. There was formerly a mine extending beneath the lagoon.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Swanpool Mine )〕 ==Natural History== Coastal saline lagoons are water bodies that are fed by saline water, in this case from the adjacent sea of Falmouth Bay, either by percolation through the bar, or, by restricted inlets such as a sluice. Swanpool also receives freshwater from a small stream and from rainfall. The water of Swanpool has permanent vertical stratification with variation in the salinity with depth. The pool is a Local Nature Reserve,〔(Swanpool Local Nature Reserve website )〕 and a Site of Special Scientific Interest. It is of scientific importance as it is one of the few locations that has the perfect salinity for the growth of the trembling sea mat (''Victorella pavida''), a bryozoan.〔(Marine life information network website: ''Victorella pavida'' )〕 Some other species of fauna and flora at Swanpool are: *Mallard duck *Moorhen *Mute swan *Coot *Water rail *Kingfisher *Little grebe *Siskin *Tufted duck *Lady's smock or cuckoo flower *Yellow flag iris 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Swanpool, Cornwall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
