  • Review of Birds in the Channel Islands, 1951-80 Roger Long
    Review of birds in the Channel Islands, 1951-80 Roger Long ecords and observations on the flora and fauna in the Channel Islands Rare treated with confusing arbitrariness by British naturalists in the various branches of natural history. Botanists include the islands as part of the British Isles, mammalogists do not, and several subdivisions of entomo• logists adopt differing treatments. The BOU lists and records have always excluded the Channel Islands, but The Atlas of Breeding Birds in Britain and Ireland (1976) included them, as do all the other distribution mapping schemes currently being prepared by the Biological Records Centre at Monks Wood Experimental Station, Huntingdon. The most notable occurrences of rarities have been published in British Birds, and this review has been compiled so that the other, less spectacular—but possibly more significant—observations are available as a complement to the British and Irish records. The late Roderick Dobson, an English naturalist resident in Jersey between 1935 and 1948 and from 1958 to his death in 1979, was the author of the invaluable Birds of the Channel Islands (1952). In this, he brought together the results of his meticulous fieldwork in all the islands, and his critical interpretation of every record—published or private—that he was able to unearth, fortunately just before the turmoil of the years of German Occupation (1940-45) dispersed much of the material, perhaps for ever. I concern myself here chiefly with the changes recorded during the approxi• mately 30 years since Dobson's record closed. Species considered to have shown little change in status over those years are not listed.

  • Odyssey Papers 44 Quest for the Wreck of the First Rate Victory: from Salvage to Science
    Odyssey Papers 44 Quest for the Wreck of the First Rate Victory: From Salvage to Science Sean A. Kingsley Wreck Watch Int., London, UK For here, when the night soars round, and under The white sea lightens and leaps like fire Acclaimed of storm and applauded in thunder, Sits Death on the throne of his crowned desire… Of the iron of doom are the Casquets carven, That never the rivets thereof shall burst… Les Casquets by Algernon Charles Swinburne (1884) The loss in October 1744 of the First Rate flagship theVictory gave birth to one of the most enduring mysteries in British maritime history: how could the greatest warship of the Early Georgian age of sail, manned by up to 1,100 people and armed with 100 bronze guns, simply vanish? Reports of extensive wreckage washed onto the Channel Islands confirmed by an Admiralty search and rescue mission, inspired a conviction that the Victory collided with the black rocks of the Caskets and was lost off Alderney. An enquiry held by Trinity House subsequently investigated claims that the keeper of the Casket lighthouse failed to keep its lights burning and was the main cause of the flagship’s loss. This paper presents the historical evidence underlying the myth of the Caskets sinking and the testimony for the alleged inattentiveness of the lighthouse keeper. Odyssey Marine Exploration’s discovery of the physical wreck in April 2008, 100km west of Alderney, finally resolved the mystery and revealed the Caskets theory to have been based on a chain of incorrect presumptions. © Odyssey Marine Exploration, 2015 1.

This chapter of the REA gives an overview of the shipping movements in the REA study area and considers the sensitivity of shipping and navigation to marine renewable energy development before considering the potential significance of effects on shipping and navigation. While the Study Area is restricted to the 3 nm limit around Guernsey and Sark the proximity of the major shipping routes in the English Channel and the jurisdiction and control of the adjacent Sea Areas will also be considered. 339 Figure 15.1.1 Chart of English Channel West – to show shipping lanes, ITZ, and Jurisdiction limits 340 15.2 Baseline Environment The overview of the baseline situation is described in terms of the types of vessels using the study area and the significance of the English Channel shipping lanes identifying any patterns in the types of routes taken, the variation in the intensity of shipping across and close to the REA study area, and navigational issues (such as vessel routing schemes, and pinch points).

Dépôt légal. — 1 édition : 3 trimestre 1975 1975, Presses Universitaires de France Tous droits de traduction, de reproduction et d'adaptation réservés pour tous pays INTRODUCTION « Les îles de la Manche sont des morceaux de France tombés dans la mer et ramassés par l'Angleterre. » C'est en ces termes que, dans un beau texte, chaleu- reux, fort, plein de la mer et du vent marin, Victor Hugo décrit les îles anglo-normandes. Ce texte, intitulé L'archipel de la Manche, est une sorte de préface à ce roman dédié à Guernesey, composé par le « proscrit » au dernier étage de Hauteville House d'où l'on domine la petite ville et le port de St Peter Port, Les travailleurs de la mer. Plus d'un siècle après leur rédaction, les pages de Victor Hugo sur Jersey et Guernesey méritent encore d'être lues, et l'on sera surpris parfois, malgré les transformations profondes apportées par l'évolution de notre civilisation, de constater combien les choses ont peu changé. Que l'on ne s'y trompe pas, les îles de la Manche sont des îles très « modernes », mais on a volontiers l'impression qu'elles ont su, dans notre époque, discerner le meilleur et refuser le reste, choisir la voie de l'évolution et du progrès sans pour autant renoncer à la tradition, adapter sans détruire, innover sans briser.
