I've an article in this edition on millstone quarries of #Waterford Harbour. Never even knew milling was such an international thing

Wooden and stone #fishweir/traps have been identified in the archaeological record of #Ireland from as early as the #Mesolithic. Ireland's wet climate and relatively benign archaeological conditions have been favourable for the preservation of organic material such as wood. 1/6 #coastalhistory

A few brave souls ventured onto the beach to pick up litter on this wild and wet day 🍃🌧️ We were also delighted to present the staff at Molly's with the café's shortlist plaque for the 2025 Ocean Hero Community Award 👏👏👏

Fair dues Eoghan and SEOT what irritates me just ad much is that the Edwardian engineering masterpiece of the Barrow Railway viaduct rusts into the river

Example of a Bamboo fish trap, Lombok, Indonesia. Traditional fish trap or "bubu," made from woven bamboo, comes in various forms. Baited with fermented shrimp paste (terasi), fish guts, rotten food. Traps are designed with non-return valves (funnels) to catch fish, shrimp, crabs.
