Hi folks. Just wanted to let you know that these notes aren't complete because I walked into class about 15 min. late because I commute and my car almost spun out twice.

At any particular spot at the North sea, the current is almost circular. The Danes invented, almost 200 y.a., something called a Danish Seine. The Danish seine is a wall of net a few feet high, weighted down on the bottom. This wall is designed to catch bottom-dwelling flatfish. (flounder, fluke, North Sea Plaice etc.) In the middle of the net, there's a bag . At the end of it, there's ropes that are designed to sink, almost half a mile long. Throws out anchor with lines and net attached. Using winches, the ropes get pulled back to the anchored rope. The fish that get scared by the nets swim towards the middle and get caught by the nets, as the nets pull in. The nets are set with the tidal current.

Tides may not be as accurate as the master tide station. All tides in other parts of the bay are corrections off the tides from Newport, where our master tide station is. If you look at a current map of a particular body of water, you get a verti-complex

On the Ebb tide, we get shorter wave lengths, but the energy stays the same and the height of the wave rises.
On the incoming tide, there's longer wave lengths, and the height of the wave is smaller.
