THE BAY OF BISCAY: THE ENCOUNTERING OF THE OCEAN AND THE SHELF (18b,E) ALICIA LAVIN, LUIS VALDES, FRANCISCO SANCHEZ, PABLO ABAUNZA Instituto Español de Oceanografía (IEO) ANDRE FOREST, JEAN BOUCHER, PASCAL LAZURE, ANNE-MARIE JEGOU Institut Français de Recherche pour l’Exploitation de la MER (IFREMER) Contents 1. Introduction 2. Geography of the Bay of Biscay 3. Hydrography 4. Biology of the Pelagic Ecosystem 5. Biology of Fishes and Main Fisheries 6. Changes and risks to the Bay of Biscay Marine Ecosystem 7. 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.

  • Port Towns and the Control of River and Maritime Zones in the Middle Ages : a Comparative Study Between Western France and Northern Castile1
    Port towns and the control of river and maritime zones in the Middle Ages : a comparative study between western France and northern Castile1 by Pr. Michel Bochaca, University of La Rochelle - Dr. Beatriz Arízaga Bolumburu, University of Cantabria Dr. Alain Gallicé, University of Nantes - Dr Mathias Tranchant, University of La Rochelle This study endeavours to analyse the manner in which, during the Early Middle Ages, the main port towns along a vast section of the Atlantic coast of Europe running from Cantabria to southern Brittany organised and controlled their related river and maritime zones within a radius of varying scope (fig. 1). It will focus less on the commercial and financial influence exerted by these towns and more on the means used by their municipalities to consolidate and develop this economic hegemony such as police/legal powers as well as taxes and relations with the supervisory authorities, whether seigniorial or royal. Another aim of the comparative approach is to identify the methods and insights which can be transposed to larger geographical scales. 1. Contrasted coastal and port geography from the mouth of the Deva River to the Breton straits 1.1. Coastlines with marked physical characteristics Without erring into reductive geographical determinism, it can be considered that natural elements have greatly impacted the conditions for development of ports along the coastlines being studied. From the mouth of the Deva River up to Biarritz (Cantabria, Biscay, Guipúzcoa and the south of Labourd), the coastline is largely rocky, elevated and irregular. But although this sheer ruggedness may seem less than conducive to human activities, if we look closer, we can see that this same coastline is indented by a number of stunning bays and estuaries (or rias) which offer safe natural havens.

  • Asturias (Northern Spain) As Case Study
    Celts, Collective Identity and Archaeological Responsibility: Asturias (Northern Spain) as case study David González Álvarez, Carlos Marín Suárez Abstract Celtism was introduced in Asturias (Northern Spain) as a source of identity in the 19th century by the bourgeois and intellectual elite which developed the Asturianism and a regionalist political agenda. The archaeological Celts did not appear until Franco dictatorship, when they were linked to the Iron Age hillforts. Since the beginning of Spanish democracy, in 1978, most of the archaeologists who have been working on Asturian Iron Age have omit- ted ethnic studies. Today, almost nobody speaks about Celts in Academia. But, in the last years the Celtism has widespread on Asturian society. Celts are a very important political reference point in the new frame of Autonomous regions in Spain. In this context, archaeologists must to assume our responsibility in order of clarifying the uses and abuses of Celtism as a historiographical myth. We have to transmit the deconstruction of Celtism to society and we should be able to present alternatives to these archaeological old discourses in which Celtism entail the assumption of an ethnocentric, hierarchical and androcentric view of the past. Zusammenfassung Der Keltizismus wurde in Asturien (Nordspanien) als identitätsstiftende Ressource im 19. Jahrhundert durch bürgerliche und intellektuelle Eliten entwickelt, die Asturianismus und regionalistische politische Ziele propagierte. Die archäologischen Kelten erschienen allerdings erst während der Franco-Diktatur, während der sie mit den eisen- zeitlichen befestigten Höhensiedlungen verknüpft wurden. Seit der Einführung der Demokratie in Spanien im Jahr 1978 haben die meisten Archäologen, die über die asturische Eisenzeit arbeiten, ethnische Studien vernachlässigt.
