By the way, do you have many coral reefs in the UK? We are only discovering the northern reefs this decade. They are deep, 50-400 m; and have not been known except as good fishing places. The shallowest is in the Trondheim fjord right by the gusing currents at 40 meters plus. Now the offshore waters are being properly charted, and there are weekly discoveries of new reefs offshore. Fishing regulations will have to be radically rewritten. Lots of the reefs have substrantial trawler damage. Putting in an oil platform makes minuscule damage in comparison. After all, the only have a 100x100m footprint, and want that on solid rock or deep shellsand. We expect new, detailed charts over all the continental shelf to be issued sometime in 2010. -- mrr |
