Accounting for the Fund The Companies Act 1985 does not apply to all public bodies but the principles that underlie the Act’s accounting and disclosure requirements are of general application: their purpose is to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the body concerned. The Government therefore has decided that the accounts of public bodies should be prepared in a way that conforms as closely as possible with the Act’s requirements and also complies with Accounting Standards where applicable. The accounts are prepared in accordance with accounts directions issued by the Secretary of State for Transport. The Fund’s accounts consolidate the General Lighthouse Authorities’ (GLAs) accounts and comply as appropriate with this policy. The notes to the Bishop Rock Lighthouse accounts contain further information. Section 211(5) of the Merchant Shipping Act 1995 requires the Secretary of State to lay the Fund’s accounts before Parliament.

  • Angus Maritime Trail
    Maritime Trail Walk in the steps of your ancestors www.angusheritage.com The Angus coastline is about 35 miles long, from north of Montrose to the outskirts of Dundee. When roads were poor, goods and people were carried along the coast by ship, and over a dozen distinct communities in Angus made their living from the vibrant and bustling coast. But the sea could be dangerous and unpredictable and many lives were lost through shipwrecks and storms. All Angus coastal settlements began as small villages, with residents earning part of their income from fishing. This fluctuated over time. Fishing villages grew if the conditions were right. Boats needed to be safe when not at sea, perhaps sailed into natural inlets on the rocky coast or hauled onto shingle beaches. Families needed ground where they could build houses with easy access to the shore, with somewhere Montrose harbour to land catches, prepare fish for sale and maintain boats, nets and lines. Houses could be built on narrow plots between the sea and coastal cliffs, or above those cliffs, with steep paths leading to the landing area. Some communities built harbours, providing shelter for moored boats and sites for fish markets and other maritime businesses. Montrose is a town that thrived as a seaport Montrose Basin - once known as the Land on the edge of rich farmland. The town’s of Sands - was a source of bait for fishing motto; Mare Ditat, Rosa Decorat (the sea communities along the Angus coastline. The enriches, the rose adorns) reflects its nature as shallow water, and regular exposure of sands, a trading town.

Introducing Bilbao Here you are, in Bilbao, the capital city of the Province of Vizcaya (or Bizkaia), the Spanish Autonomous Community of Basque Country (or Euskadi). It is one of the most important cities of this community and of Spain. Located in the north Spanish coast, this city bets for a balance between progress and sustainable development. Bilbao also cares on culture and his modernist buildings and theatres prove of it. Language and communication There are two official languages in Basque Country: Spanish and Basque. People speak both languages and most usual things are written in both of them: banners, indications, menus... Here you can find some essential words in both languages for not being “lost in translation” 3 2.

Analysis of long-term effort-related land-based observations to identify whether coastal areas of harbour porpoise and bottlenose dolphin have persistent high occurrence & abundance. JNCC report No. 543, JNCC, Peterborough. Summary Dedicated shore watches for cetaceans have been conducted at a number of sites around the UK since 1965. Here, over 75,000 hours of watches and c50,000 associated sightings of bottlenose dolphin and harbour porpoise from 678 sites around the coasts of Britain are analysed, in order to determine whether areas of persistent high occurrence and relative abundance of the two species can be identified. Average sightings rates (sightings per unit hour of search) and count rates (animals per unit hour of search) were calculated from each site over the full time period that watches were conducted. For use in statistical modelling, results were summarised by site and by day (thus eliminating within-day autocorrelation), and records associated with high Beaufort ‘sea state’ and short observation duration were filtered out.
