  1. The #Beach at #Minehead is on the southern shore of the #BristolChannel, which eventually leads out to the #IrishSea. The town has this interesting #hill, which reminded me of the #Whale in #TerryGilliam's film #TimeBandits (if you know, you know). It think it’s a very distinctive natural feature.

  6. ‘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.

  7. Volunteered to swim in the Irish Sea. In winter. For charity.

  8. From this side of the #IrishSea Border that #Johnson created - I can't say the #humanhaystack will be missed.

    So for one last time - the gobshite will not be missed!

    On the way out, Don't let the door, hit ya, where the good lord split ya!

  13. Who cancelled the Irish Sea today? Mysterious fog blowing onto the coast like a misty spray. Apocalyptic but refreshing. #Coast #Beach #Strand #Sandymount #Dublin #Ireland #Mastodaoine #Fog #Mist #IrishSea

  14. In #shipping, once a shift in routing has taken place (replacing a previously route), shifts back are unlikely... so the news that #Irish freight that used to hop across the #Irishsea & then ship to #EuropeanUnion via #Dover is now using the Rosslare to Cherbourg route is (for Dover) yet one more loss we can attach to #Brexit.

    Even if #RishiSunakPM does sort out the #NorthernIrelandProtocol, I'd be very surprised if much of this business comes back to Dover;

    Another victory for the wreckers

  15. #CustomsBorder and #IrishSea

    Support for customs checks in the #Irish sea are only necessary if you want to diverge from #EUStandards.

    But we people were broadly happy to accept #EU standards.

    But what does the data say? Accepting a customs border down the Irish sea did NOT have support. Even in most #Leave voting areas, support for a Customs border down the Irish sea was well below 50%.

    But again: customs checks in #Irish sea are only necessary if you want to diverge from #EUStandards.

  16. The ever so on the ball @scrivenersmith just set up our project account for @PortsPastPres. If you are interested in #IrishSea history and heritage shared between #Wales and #Ireland, the ferry ports between them (#Holyhead, #Fishguard, #PembrokeDock, #RosslareHarbour, #DublinPort), then give us a follow. We hope our stories will get you excited about visiting these communities the next time you use the ferry and have a few hours of spare time. youtu.be/KkmUuDqKDIc

  17. #Introduction

    I'm a PostDoctoral researcher at #AberystwythUniversity working currently for the #PortsPastAndPresent project. For this project I have just produced a series of short documentary films around #CoastalHeritage of the #IrishSea (youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrS) as a new way of supporting #SustainableTourism in ferry port communities.

    Otherwise, I'm working on #WelshWritingInEnglish mostly from the long #C19, so there is lots of overspill into #RomanticLit and #EdwardianLit, #CulturalHeritage and #History of this small nation. Other research interests include #TravelWriting, particularly illustrated accounts and the history of the #VisitorsBook. I've also done some #PublicHistory work and community outreach during the recent #CommemorationPeriod around #WW1 German submarine warfare and its effects on Welsh communities.

    I share longer #WorkInProgress on my blog: bydbach.hcommons.org/

    Toots will be mostly in #English, but occasionally also in #Deutsch and #Cymraeg.
