For 21 years I've ran an informative on .

As an "independent source" it was used by politicians, students, and many everyday people alike.

It was used for & , and triggered some inquires where I assisted in shaping national & international political statements. It's been fun & fulfilling 🙂

In today's siloed internet its usefulness is gone. No more days with 5.000 unique visitors & multiple email inquires.

Today is its last day online. 1/2

Overfishing.org contained both an introduction to the issue of , and resources. See attached some evergreens (low resolution, DM me for high res).

There's the "what, why, how" , imagery of in the Dutch , and a poster with all around the world.

As I'm to see the website go I've renewed the for one more year and am happy to "donate" it to a good cause. Any interest: DM me.

Along the coasts of The Netherlands, Germany and Denmark there lays a shallow coastal sea -with associated wetlands and islands- extremely rich with all types of important sea (it serves as a spawning and nursing grounds for fish) and bird (millions of migratory birds use the mud flats to feed on) life. Large parts of the sea consist of tidal mudflats. The intertidal area is sea during high-tide and dryish land during low-tide. For decades there have been bottom trawling and dredging activities on the Dutch part of the area. As of July 1, 2004 mechanical cockle fisheries have been banned in order to preserve the cockles (and the rich bottom) for the millions of birds. However, some fisheries on mussels (mariculture) and shrimp are still taking place. Here are two low-tide imageres showing the marks / scarves left by various trawling activities. These take years to disappear from visual sight and even longer for the benthic situation to return to the pre-trawling situation. The images are composites from aerial photographs, the location is near the island of Texel.

Modern satellite imagery clearly show the mud trails, distortion and other destruction left by the coastal -shallow water- version of these trawling activities. * trawling imagery from Ecuador, USA (Georgia and Louisiana), Netherlands (Vlieland and Westerschelde), Phillipines, China, Malaysia, Indonesia and Mexico. Satellite images are Quickbird, Landsat and aerial photographs.

Here's some black and white shots I liked from the 'race'.

Looking back at ships behind us, port on the horizon, one ship with full sails getting close.
Whole load of ships sailing at sea.

It wouldn't surprise me if some of these islands were the first in to disappear because of - the pace of silting in the will perhaps not be able to keep pace with rising seas within a few decades, at least not in all places.

Now also for our international readers 🙂: It had been missing since 1362 - now a joint project of @unimainz , the Centre for Baltic and Scandinavian Archaeology and the State Archaeological Office has located the sunken church of Rungholt in the North Frisian Wadden Sea.
