	Land/Sea Level Change, Ireland
		Sea and land-level changes have independently influenced the position of the shoreline in Ireland and the rest of the formerly glaciated world since the end of the Ice Age.
		Land levels in areas that experienced glaciation have also changed profoundly as a result of crustal depression that accompanied loading of the ice on the earth's surface, and the land's subsequent rebound during ice melting.
		Sea level has oscillated near the present coast for several thousand years, although the relative roles of sea and land-level changes are not quantified.

	Ocean forecasting and altimetry
		When the French and British fleets in Crimea were torn apart by a storm that had previously wrought havoc throughout Europe, the Emperor Napoleon III, on the advice of the French astronomer Le Verrier, decided to create the forerunner of Météo-France.
		Sea level pressure is also used to isolate the signal due to the deformation of the ocean surface caused by atmospheric pressure.
		While the sea may appear very chaotic and therefore virtually impossible to describe and predict in any detail, mean wave height depends on wind speed.

		General description: Sea otters are members of the weasel family (Mustelidae) and are related to mink and river otters.
		In some areas, the nonbreeding males will concentrate in "male areas" which are usually off exposed points of land where shallow water extends offshore.
		Thus, while sea otters are flourishing in Alaska's waters, it is clear that they are susceptible to human activities.

	Steller and California sea lions

		The range of this species is from the Sea of Japan at 43°N, north to the Pacific rim at 66°N and then south the North American Pacific coast to San Miguel Island at 34°N. Some migration seems to occur.
		Sea lions are known to damage fishing gear and steal or destroy fish in the nets.

	Shipping Forecast - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1984, the areas in the North Sea were coordinated with those of other neighbouring countries, introducing North Utsire and South Utsire and reducing Viking in size.
		For instance, the area that the British forecasts call Dover is referred to by the French as Pas-de-Calais.
		British DJ Rob Overseer's album Wreckage has a final track entitled "Heligoland," where the Shipping Forecast surrealistically alternates between reporting the weather and the emotional states of an individual.

	"We're In Deep Trouble" - Deep Sea Factoids (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-21)
		At present, with the exception of the Southern Ocean and to a more limited extent, the Mediterranean Sea and a small number of areas in the North East Atlantic, deep-sea corals and sponges found on the high seas on seamounts and along continental slopes are completely unprotected.
		On the high seas south of Australia, in an area known as the South Tasman Rise, observers recorded trawlers bringing up an average of 1.6 tons of coral per hour in their nets in 1997 — the first year of the area's orange roughy seamount fishery.
		This is why the Deep Sea Conservation Coalition has joined over 1,000 scientists from around the world calling on the United Nations General Assembly - the guardian of the high seas - to declare a moratorium on high seas bottom trawling (HSBT) to protect the majority of the oceans' little-known and largely unexplored deep-sea habitats.

		The islands became a British Protectorate in 1877, and were formally annexed in 1916 and included within the Gilbert and Ellice Islands Colony.
		Even a small rise in sea level could make the islands uninhabitable because of the greatly increased damage that would be caused by hurricanes.
		Because of the dependence of a dense population on a very limited area of land, most of Tokelau's conservation policies relate to protection of the human environment.

	Rivers & Oceans : A Travel Company Featuring White Water Rafting, Sea Kayaking, Scuba Diving & More

	British overseas territories - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The growth of the British Empire in the 19th century, to its peak in the 1920s, saw the UK acquire over one quarter of the world's land mass, including territories with large indigenous populations in Asia and Africa, which were held for commercial and strategic reasons rather than for settlement.
		In territories with a permanent population, a Governor is appointed by the Queen on the advice of the British Government, usually a retired senior military officer, or a senior civil servant.
		British Indian Ocean Territory - the island of Diego Garcia is home to a large naval base and airbase leased to the United States by the United Kingdom.

	Employment of Naval Forces
		Sufficient of his land, sea or air territory must be invaded, however, to establish the destructive potential of the victor and to engender in the enemy that hopelessness which precedes submission.
		The latter served to clear the narrow seas for the transport to discharge its force of men and weapons upon enemy territory where the decision was obtained.
		It was this same British seapower, in the form of a tight blockade which denied world intercourse to him but assured it to his enemies, and in the victories of Copenhagen, the Nile and Trafalgar, which was the controlling factor in his eventual defeat.

		Population growth is increasing pressure on marine ecosystems in the state of Washington and British Columbia.
		Inland sea shoreline areas are important zones for fish, birds and wildlife.
		Several inland sea species are threatened or in danger of becoming extinct; numerous salmon stocks in Puget Sound and chinook salmon in the Strait of Georgia, lingcod in both countries, Pacific Hake in Puget Sound, harlequin ducks, harbor and Dall's porpoise, and raptors such as the osprey.

		Such high seas MPAs may already be established consistent with international law, but it was recognized that additional steps might be necessary to build on existing instruments to facilitate the creation of a representative system of high seas MPA networks and its effective management and enforcement.
		The Deep Seas 2003 Conference in New Zealand (1-5 December, 2003) and the World Fisheries Congress in Vancouver, Canada (May 2-6), were highlighted as important opportunities to discuss these issues with a wider audience.
		In a lengthy paragraph it calls for: Intergovernmental action in all continents and oceans to establish protected areas in places of highest biodiversity status, focusing on those species and habitats that are poorly represented and face the greatest threat and in terms of the importance of the ecosystem function which they perform.

		This rotor-based system, part of the sea flow marine current turbine project, is located at Foreland Point, Lynmouth in North Devon.
		While there are a number of pioneering prototype devices making their way to sea in the UK, the Consortium is engaged in generic research that looks up to a decade ahead, supporting the wider progression of concepts and technologies into deployment.
		Then there is the further consideration of whether electricity generated in a remote location will be commercially uncompetitive once the cost of transporting it is factored in.

	Popular Culture: from Baseball to Rock and Roll (John Bull and Uncle Sam)
		British popular music maintained its ascendancy, as did British theater, particularly evident in the many performances of Shakespeare's plays and Gilbert and Sullivan's operettas.
		Although the dominance of American rock and roll music was the most conspicuous feature of the British pop culture scene in the years after World War II, the long tradition of British performers thriving in the United States continued both before and after war as did the favorable reception of their American counterparts in Britain.
		In the 1950s British rock groups tended to imitate American groups and re-record their most popular songs, a trend that was in some instances reversed in the 1960s, when American groups copied British songs, especially those by the Beatles.

		It is partly funded by and in partnership with English Nature, PADI Project Aware, Marine Conservation Society, Care For the Wild International, Ocean Pulse, Seahorse Ireland, Project Seahorse and Divers Down and through kind donations from the public.
		The survey has been running since 1994 and was set up to look for and monitor the populations of Seahorses around the British Isles and Ireland.
		We have had sightings from all around the British Isles and some have come from surprising sources such as a small boy rockpooling in Torbay to an old fisherman in Caithness who remembered boyhood memories of lots of Seahorses in his local rockpools.

	British Columbia Coastal Environment
		For thousands of years people have lived on the British Columbia coast, depending on its rich resources.
