  • An elderly man sunbathes on a summer beach in the seaside resort of Paignton, England. The gentleman looks out across the stretch of sandy coast at low-tide and a square pool made by flooding high-tide sea water provides a natural place to swim when the sea is far out. The male in the foreground is seen in close-up and we see the expanse of his back covered in freckles. After many sunny hours beneath solar rays he is tanned but not burned. Nevertheless, he is at risk of the pigment in those freckles turning into melanomas, the cause of skin cancer. More than 10,000 people a year are developing the deadliest form of skin cancer as a result of package holidays and excessive use of sunbeds. Cases of malignant melanoma rose by 650 (6.5 per cent) in a single year as a result of binge-tanning at home and abroad, according to Cancer Research UK.

  • An abandoned coastal fishing boat lies askew in waters of Inverscaddle Bay, Ardgour, Scotland. On a bleak and grey summer evening, with low clouds descending on surrounding hills and mountains, we see the still waters of this Scottish lake lapping against the hull of this vessel that appears to have ended its days washed up on the beach. It is low-tide because this waterway connects to the wider sea of the Western Isles. Fisheries have always been an important sector of Scottish communities' lives so when there is an economic recession for example, the livelihoods of those employed on-board trawlers and boats like these are first hit.

  • Storm damaged mangrove forests at low-tide, Obo-ob, Bantayan Island, The Philippines. Fishing communities in Bantayan reported severe damage to mangrove forests after typhon Haiyan but the government has yet to conduct an assessment of the impact.  Mangroves forests are critical in ensuring the sustainability of fish production. They serve as spawning grounds and nurseries for fish and are a habitat for a wide array of organisms. The salt-hardy trees also protect coastal areas from wave action and can prevent some of the inland damage associated with storm surges. Oxfam is working on various projects to support mangrove protection in Obo-ob.

  • A detail of poetry and sentences forming Graveyard of Lost Species, a boat artwork created by by artists and commissioned by Arts Catalyst, at low-tide on the Thames estuary, at Leigh creek, on 10th September 2019, in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, England. The project celebrates the local tradition of wrecking boats on the salt marsh, its decaying memory of what has changed or passed. The boat is the Souvenir, a 39-foot Thames bawley 1933 which once served the local fish trade in nearby Southend-on-Sea.

  • A young man sits on a sandbank beneath a sun brolley. With legs and feet protruding the man is in the middle of a sand maze constructed for the London Thames Festival, the annual celebration of all things related to London life and culture. The maze has been trodden by pairs of feet to create concentric circles that ultimately lead to the centre. Seen only at low-tide on the river's foreshore near Gabriel's Wharf, the stretch of fine, natural sandy beach is used by Londoners to sample a touch of seaside on fine summer days and was popular with Victorians before the arrivals of railways taking them to the coast. Nowadays the Thames is much cleaner after more stringent environment policies and the sand in some places is pure.

  • On a bright summer afternoon, a young spoiled girl shows-off by riding her favourite motorized Barbie trike along The Parade, the main promenade in the north Welsh seaside town of Llandudno, Wales. Wearing a bright pink helmet and travelling on the matching pink toy bike, she trundles along with the low-tide coast over her left shoulder. Barbie is a best-selling fashion doll launched in 1959 and produced by Mattel, Inc. The brand's merchandising reaches far and wide to countries and cultures around the world and this little girl seems to be the happiest on the beach, enjoying a generous present perhaps from a parent. She is the exact age that Mattel are targeting when they market these toys to accompany their dolls and accessories though the industry has come under fire for its controversial stereotyping of gender and subtle sexuality.

  • Disused wooden piles at Salen Pier, Salen, Isle of Mull, Scotland. The mailboat service from Oban to Mull traditionally called at Salen pier en route to Tobermory and many people still have fond memories of the Lochinvar.  From 1964 the new ferries required bigger piers and Craignure was established as the main ferry terminus. Salen (Scottish Gaelic: An t-Sàilean) is a settlement on the Isle of Mull, Scotland. It is on the east coast of the island, on the Sound of Mull, approximately halfway between Craignure and Tobermory. The full name of the settlement is 'Sàilean Dubh Chaluim Chille' (the black little bay of St Columba).

  • A life belt hangs on a cross-shaped post, all painted a vivid red as the sun sinks down below the horizon and beyond the historic Bamburgh Castle, in Northumberland, northern England. Lit with a strong off-camera flash we see the slightly blurred device, invented for saving lives at sea, with a ghostly corona around its form, against a fading blue sky. The rope dangles near the ground, around which the grasses of the dunes blow in a faint breeze. Only the foreground is lit by the flash and the distant castle building and shoreline. We see such equipment and imagine safety and rescue and also jeopardy and hazards at sea. Supplied for those taking risks and making stupid decisions makes these items essential on coastal areas.

  • The blurred lights of Blackpool's south pier register as a circle in this time exposure. Reflected on the puddles in beach sand, we see the colours of this iron structure on England's north west coast. Work began to build the pier in 1892. It was constructed, at a total cost of £50,000. <br />
South Pier (originally known as Victoria Pier) is one of three piers in Blackpool, England. Located on South Promenade on the South Shore, the pier contains a number of amusement and adrenalin rides. It opens each year from March to November and is owned by Six Piers Limited.

  • As winter fog lifts, the waters of the River Thames clear to reveal an eerie landscape of industrial river life and architecture at Gravesend, Kent England. It is late-morning and in the hazy distance on the northern river bank, steam clouds near the double twin chimneys of npower's 1400MW coal fired Tilbury power station (powering 1.4 million homes using ‘biomass’ fuels and low-sulphur coal) which rise above the passing ghostly bulk of a cargo freighter on its last miles of its voyage from open sea into the Thames Estuary and on to Tilbury Docks. Historically, the Thames has long been a route for shipping that kept the capital supplied and although the docks have seen huge decreases in traffic and volume since the second world war, Tilbury remains a busy hub for containerized vessels arrivng from all over the world.

  • Plymouth City Council employees clean Devil's Point Pool at low tide, a man-made tidal pool on Plymouth Sound, Stonehouse, Plymouth, Devon, UK. Until the 1950s and the rise of the heated indoor swimming pool, children learnt to swim outdoors. For those close to the sea, many man-made tidal swimming pools were constructed around Britain’s coastline. Heated by the sun, these tidal pools were often built to keep bathers safe from high and rough seas, which explains why so many of them are clustered in Scotland and around the surfing beaches of Cornwall. Whether they are simple swimming holes made by shoring up natural rock pools or grand lido-like pools complete with lifeguards and tea huts, they are all refreshed by good high tides.
