‘A national scandal’: trawlers scour seabeds of supposedly protected #UK waters
Almost 40% of #England’s seas are designated as #marineprotectedareas.
‘Precious ocean life is being pushed to the brink,’ say campaigners, arguing #overfished marine areas are ‘protected only on paper’
Report found #NorthSea & #CelticSea cod, #IrishSea whiting, Irish Sea herring and North Sea and east #EnglishChannel horse mackerel at critically low levels, yet continued to be overfished.

Ballycotton’s Beacon on the Island

The lighthouse on the island just off the coast by Ballycotton is always a nice subject for a photo. The night we were there, we hoped to photograph the moon rising behind the lighthouse but a large bank of cloud covered the horizon.

'The Celtic Sea' is currently the standout track from my recent extra release "Stubble and Straw: The Dark Harvest Gleanings" - the spoken word section on it is taken from The New Colossus, a poem by Emma Lazarus inscribed on the Statue of Liberty.

first evening / night in #Ireland 🤩
yes, that view was amazing! And the sound of the waves too!

The temperature drop during night made us shiver (~7°C) and the peble stones as well as the tilt of the tent were really uncomfortable.
The next morning we had sunshine alternating with dark clouds and wind. We stayed there until midday, tried to recover and to catch every single sunray 😎
