The #Beach at #Minehead is on the southern shore of the #BristolChannel, which eventually leads out to the #IrishSea. The town has this interesting #hill, which reminded me of the #Whale in #TerryGilliam's film #TimeBandits (if you know, you know). It think it’s a very distinctive natural feature.

Report found #NorthSea & #CelticSea cod, #IrishSea whiting, Irish Sea herring and North Sea and east #EnglishChannel horse mackerel at critically low levels, yet continued to be overfished.

The Guardian
