Institute of Oceanographic Sciences, Brook Road, Wormley, Surrey GU8 SUB ABSTRACT The distribution of Mesozoic basins around the margins of the North Atlantic has been summarised, and is discussed in terms of a new earliest Cretaceous palaeogeographic reconstruction for the North Atlantic area. The Late Triassic-Early Jurassic rift basins of Iberia, offshore eastern Canada and the continental shelf of western Europe are seen to be the fragments of a formerly coherent NE trending rift system which probably formed as a result of tensional stress between Europe, Africa and North America. The separation of Europe, North America and Iberia was preceded by a Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous rifting phase which is clearly distinct from the earlier Mesozoic rifting episode and was little influenced by it.

Concluding remarks Bibliography 1. Introduction The Bay of Biscay is an arm of the Atlantic Ocean, indenting the coast of W Europe from NW France (Offshore of Brittany) to NW Spain (Galicia). Tradition- ally the southern limit is considered to be Cape Ortegal in NW Spain, but in this contribution we follow the criterion of other authors (i.e. Sánchez and Olaso, 2004) that extends the southern limit up to Cape Finisterre, at 43∞ N latitude, in order to get a more consistent analysis of oceanographic, geomorphological and biological characteristics observed in the bay. The Bay of Biscay forms a fairly regular curve, broken on the French coast by the estuaries of the rivers (i.e. Loire and Gironde). The southeastern shore is straight and sandy whereas the Spanish coast is rugged and its northwest part is characterized by many large V-shaped coastal inlets (rias) (Evans and Prego, 2003). The area has been identified as a unit since Roman times, when it was called Sinus Aquitanicus, Sinus Cantabricus or Cantaber Oceanus. The coast has been inhabited since prehistoric times and nowadays the region supports an important population (Valdés and Lavín, 2002) with various noteworthy commercial and fishing ports (i.e.

In contrast, the breeding success of northern gannets Morus bassanus has remained remarkably stable. The pre- sent study examines data from the large gannet colony at the Bass Rock (southeast Scotland) across 3 years, to assess the extent to which such stability may reflect both flexibility and consistency in diets and foraging behaviour. Adults exhibited great flexibility both in the species and sizes of prey con- sumed and in foraging trip durations, ranges and total distances travelled. They also showed a high degree of consistency in bearings of foraging trips and in behaviour at sea; the sinuosity of foraging tracks and average speed of travel was very similar each year and birds in all years spent about half their time at sea in flight.

  • Celtic Seas Ecoregion – Ecosystem Overview
    ICES Ecosystem Overviews Celtic Seas Ecoregion Published 14 December 2018 https://doi.org/ 10.17895/ices.pub.4667 7.1 Celtic Seas Ecoregion – Ecosystem overview Ecoregion description The Celtic Seas ecoregion covers the northwestern shelf seas of the EU. It includes areas of the deeper eastern Atlantic Ocean and coastal seas that are heavily influenced by oceanic inputs. The ecoregion ranges from north of Shetland to Brittany in the south. Three key areas constitute this ecoregion: • the Malin shelf; • the Celtic Sea and west of Ireland; • the Irish Sea. The Celtic Seas ecoregion includes all or parts of the Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs) of three EU Member States. Fisheries in the Celtic Seas are managed through the EU Common Fisheries Policy (CFP), with fisheries of some stocks managed by the North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC) and by coastal state agreements. Responsibility for salmon fisheries is taken by the North Atlantic Salmon Conservation Organization (NASCO) and for large pelagic fish by the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT). Collective fisheries advice is provided by the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), the European Commission’s Scientific Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF), and the North Western Waters and Pelagic ACs. Environmental policy is managed by national governments and agencies and by OSPAR; advice is provided by national agencies, OSPAR, the European Environment Agency (EEA), and ICES. International shipping is managed under the International Maritime Organization (IMO). Figure 1 The Celtic Seas ecoregion, showing EEZs, larger offshore Natura 2000 sites, and operational and authorized wind farms.
