  • The sheep on North Ronaldsay are unique to that island in the Orkney's of Scotland.  They feed exclusively on seaweed and will die if left to feed on grass in the surrounding pastures.  The island council maintains a stone fence around the island to keep the sheep on the beaches.

  • Endangered sea turtles struggle ashore on Juno Beach, north of Palm Beach, Florida, to lay their eggs in the soft sands, impaired by the shore lighting that can scare them away.  Worse, when the baby turtles hatch they often become confused by the lighting and turn away from the sea, making them easy prey for predators.

  • Midhowe is a large Neolithic chambered cairn located on the south shore of the island of Rousay, Orkney, Scotland. The tomb is a particularly well preserved example of the Orkney-Cromarty type of chambered cairn. Tombs of this type are often referred to as "stalled" cairns due to their distinctive internal structure.

  • Muxia on the Costa da Morte is famed for the ancient customs associated with the rocks surrounding the church of Santa Maria de Muxia.  Pilgrims climb under the stone for its healing power.  Others stand on the rocking stone, Pedra da Barca. Some put their heads in curious stone cavities near the shore.   All are customs of Celtic origin.

  • Ian Delyell takes his North Ronaldsay Pram out to run his crab and lobster creels around the north coast of North Ronaldsay.  Delyell is a crofter, meaning that he farms a bit, fishes a bit, and does other odd jobs to make ends meet on the tiny island (four miles by two miles.) He and his helper are pulling up single creels (mostly) that Delyell drops into single, special holes he knows about from decades of fishing (his father fished here before him.)  He triangulates his position from landmarks on shore and "reads" the bottom to place he creels exactly. The get about a pound (Sterling) per kilo of crabs and about nine pounds per kilo of lobsters.

  • Seed from the Kew Millennium Seed Bank collection at Wakehurst, outside London in the UK.  <br />
<br />
Heritiera littoralis (Malvaceae) – looking-glass mangrove, native to the Old World tropics; the seawater-proof nut-like fruit contains a single round seed surrounded by a large air space. The prominent keel on their back acts like the sail; fruit up to 10cm long <br />
http://mangrove.nus.edu.sg/guidebooks/text/1062.htm: Low, much branched, evergreen tree, to 15 m tall; bark pinkish gray, smooth becoming flaky when older; leaf blades dark green above and silvery white below, withering dull orange-yellow, oblong to elliptic, leathery; flowers in hanging yellowish tassels; fruits purple-brown, woody, shiny with a stiff keel on one side. The hard and strong timber is valued for masts, when it can be got straight enough. It is also used for canoes, firewood, house posts, joists, pressers, telegraph poles, wheel-hubs and boat-ribs. An extract of the seed can be used to treat diarrhoea and dysentery .<br />
http://plants.jstor.org/flora/ftea009311?cookieSet=1: LOCAL USES (in East Africa). Trunks of this species are used for dhow masts in Lamu (Abdulla 1139) and Zanzibar (U.O.P.Z.) and were formerly used for railroad sleepers (Farquhar 6).  This species is widespread and common in mangrove, and its habitat not significantly threatened as far as is known. It is provisionally rated here as of “least concern” for conservation.  The capsules are common in drift along the shore. The dorsal ridge of the capsule, often described as a keel, is homologous with a wing and actually functions as a sail. Fruits float on the surface of the ocean always with the ridge or wing upward and they are widely distributed by a combination of currents and wind. The record from T 8 is based on a sight record by Luke (pers. comm.) at Mtwara Mnazi Bay/Ruvuma Est MNP)<br />

  • Rev. Jim Miller of the United Methodist Church of Ord, Nebraska recreates the first circuit riding ministers church service on Anderson Island on the shores of the North Loup River.  Several of the church members were baptized in the river. The North Loup is one of the rivers fed by the aquifer in the Sandhills and thus flows at a constant rate year round and from year to year.

  • The Broch of Gurness on the shores of Mainland, Orkney, Scotland.  The Broch is a large stone dwelling in the form of a circular stone fortification.  These views look across from the top of the wall, down into the central dwelling and then across the sea to the island of Rousay to the north.  Brochs are a common feature of the coast of Orkney which is littered with stone age sites.
