  • Ducking under the falling spray from a giant wave, a passer-by experience the force of nature from a storm off the coasts of southern England - here at the Port of Dover, Kent. As the water hits the sea defence wall, the seaside town is battered by southerly winds that bring with them huge breakers across the promenade. Adventurous and foolhardy people brave these conditions and stay for as long as possible at the railings then jump out at the last moment before getting doused in salt spray. This man carries on walking and thinks that by bending down, the sea will pass overhead.

  • Evaporating sea water to make sea salt In the salt pans Of Gruisson, France<br />
The traditional industry around Gruissan is salt making - it is the residue of evaporated sea water. <br />
The salt from Saint Martins saltern is the result of a salt marsh technique, which dates back to Antiquity.<br />
You can see the fields of salt water and piles of brown and white salt - called camelles because of their resemblance to the humps of camels. Salt pans cover a total surface area of almost 400 hectares between the sea and the island of St Martin. The harvest has grown from around 5 tons in 1912, to more than 30,000 tons today, in a good year. Water from the sea is pumped into the salt pans in spring. It evaporates during the summer, and salt is harvested in autumn.  The salt is much prized is called Fleur de sel.

  • Pilot of the Red Arrows, UK's RAF aerobatic team readies himself before a simulated ditching in the cold sea during exercise. We see the pilot, looking nervous - happier in the air - wearing survival gear, Flt. Lt. Steve Underwood of the elite team, about to plunge into the cold Mediterranean waters for his annual Wet Drill exercise during Spring training in Cyprus. The rehearsal is to practise a helicopter recovery after a fast-jet ejection over the sea. His RAF-issue life vest (containing a vital life-raft) will inflate when in contact with the salt water and helps him stay afloat before the helicopter pick-up. This yearly event is required of all flying personnel to ensure that any accident over water can reach a positive outcome - by the rescuing of an expensively-trained pilot or navigator.

  • A mid-morning mist sweeps across the seafront's South Beach at Scarborough, the seaside town in North Yorkshire. Kids run about on the wet sand, some leaping and some just carrying buckets of salt water for sandcastles elsewhere. With the freedom and open-space, children who perhaps live in bleak industrial towns in northern England can enjoy the fresh-air on this north-eastern coast. Their reflections are also seen on the shiny sand and although it appears to be as grim as their home may be, it is in fact a warm day but the daily sea fogs that roll across this beach, a microclimate exists and is unique to this area.

  • One of the warning signs alerting motorists of tidal dangers on the causeway between the tidal Lindisfarne island and the Northumbrian mainland, on 27th September 2017, on Lindisfarne Island, Northumberland, England. Despite tide timetables posted all over the area, drivers often mis-time their crossings, their vehicles ending up submerged in salt water. The small Lindisfarne population of just over 160 is swelled by the influx of over 650,000 visitors from all over the world every year. A tidal Island: Lindisfarne is a tidal island in that access is by a paved causeway which is covered by the North Sea twice in every 24 hour period. The Holy Island of Lindisfarne, also known simply as Holy Island, is an island off the northeast coast of England. Holy Island has a recorded history from the 6th century AD; it was an important centre of Celtic and Anglo-saxon Christianity. After the Viking invasions and the Norman conquest of England, a priory was reestablished.

  • Luzriminda T. Abello (42) collecting sea snails whilst walking through the mangrove forest 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.

The coastal village is extremely vulnerable to rising sea levels, salt water intrusion and climate change, which are disrupting the lives of farming and fishing-dependent communities throughout the low-lying Delta. Hien says: “When we first moved to this farm 10 years ago it was good living. But now it gets worse and worse because the sea keeps flooding in. Every year our rice fields flood and sometimes the water even comes into the house as high as my knee. We have to pump it out. We used to grow rice and vegetables but for the last few years this has been impossible – the soil is very salty."

  • In a red helmet, Squadron Leader Spike Jepson, team leader of the elite 'Red Arrows', Britain's prestigious Royal Air Force aerobatic team, plunges into the blue  Mediterranean waters for his annual Wet Drill exercise during Spring training in Cyprus. We see the pilot, small in the picture surrounded by frothing, blue water that engulfs his small body making him look vulnerable. There are lines attaching him to a boat ensuring his safety. The rehearsal is to practise a helicopter recovery after a fast-jet ejection over the sea. His RAF-issue life vest (containing a vital life-raft) has inflated when in  contact with the salt water and helps him stay afloat in the cold water. This yearly event is required of all flying personnel to ensure that any accident over water can reach a positive outcome - by the rescuing of an expensively-trained pilot or navigator.

  • Mai Thi Chau (49) and her husband Van Trinh Nguyen (50) are farmers and natural honey collectors in Number 13 Village, Nguyen Phich commune, in the southern province of Ca Mau in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta. They have four adult children who have moved to the city for work. Rising sea levels, salt water intrusion and climate change are threatening the farming and fishing-dependent communities in the low-lying Delta. Oxfam and partners are supporting some of the province’s poorest and most vulnerable families by introducing renewable energy systems to save them time and money and help them to develop sustainably. Pictured: Mai Thi Chau holding some of the charcoal used for cooking. Mai says "Sometimes I make charcoal but it’s very hard work – I have to go to the forest, chop wood and burn it all night."

  • Hong Ngich Nguyen (27) making a fishing net at home in Number 1 Village, Khanh Hoi commune, in the southern province of Ca Mau in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta where she lives with her husband, three young sons and parents-in-law. Hong can make two fishing nets a day and sells them for 25,000 dong (73p) each. However, it’s not regular work as it depends on when the boat owner needs new nets. The coastal village is extremely vulnerable to rising sea levels, salt water intrusion and climate change, which are disrupting the lives of farming and fishing-dependent communities throughout the low-lying Delta.

  • Portrait of Bill Spink with a stick of Arbroath Smokies, Arbroath, Scotland. The Arbroath Smokie is a haddock caught in the north sea. It is gutted and the head is removed. The haddock is then salted for half an hour before being tied in pairs and hung on sticks to dry. Once dry, they are smoked over beech or oak hardwood for half an hour.
