It lifts the white locks of the sea
In such wild winter storm no fright
Of savage viking trouble me"

"Fishing with traps" (Visvangst met fuiken), part of the series Venationes, Piscationes et Aucupii Typi. The print was engraved by Philips Galle after a drawing by Hans Bol, and was produced in the late 16th century. It depicts a busy Dutch waterway scene where fishermen are emptying large wicker traps (fuiken) and collecting fish into a boat.

The exact date of their construction is hard to determine, but they do have some historical grounding; they were noted by Captain George Vancouver on his visit to the area in 1791 and by Lieutenant Parker King in 1818. Almost certainly dating them to the pre-contact period. 2/3

Seaweed harvesting on its use both as an agricultural product fertilizing for soils and in times as a reserve of food such during the Irish fountain makes it a historically vital and significant part of Irish coastal communities heritage.

Communities fight 'corporate' bid for seaweed rights Communities on Ireland's west coast say they will fight to safeguard their traditional seaweed rights against what they describe as a "corporate takeover "of their livelihoods.

Battle in the west of Ireland, for the oceans green gold seaweed!!. Local communities struggle to keep access to their historical seaweed cutting and harvesting rights as a private company seek to gain cutting rights from the state.
