About Northeast 2005


Hélène (Carole Bouquet) is a modern working woman who has sacrificed everything for her career. Now middle-aged and lonely, she travels to the northeast region of Argentina to adopt a baby. Once there, she is struck by the abject poverty that devastates the area and soon meets, by chance, Juana (Aymará Rovera), a local mother, whose destitution makes providing for her son a nearly impossible task. To their surprise, these two very different women soon develop a powerful and crucial bond. …  MORE

Backing sought for basking shark 'safe zone' in Scotland

Feb 16,2020 3:40 am

Basking Sharks migrate to west Scotland from The Sea off West Africa

Scotland could be the location of The World 's first protected area for basking Sharks , say conservationists.

Large groups of the fish gather in The Sea of the Hebrides from May to October to feed on plankton.

The Scottish Wildlife Trust and Marine Conservation Society want part of The Sea to be designated a marine protected area (MPA).

The Scottish government is consulting on The Plan and the groups have urged The Public to show support.

Three other proposed MPAs - North-east Lewis, Shiant East Bank and Southern Trench -

Under The Sea of the Hebrides proposal. the MPA would cover an area between The East coast of the Western Isles and west coasts of Skye, Mull and the Ardnamurchan Peninsula.

The Sea is a habitat for whale and Dolphins as well as basking Sharks .

Basking Sharks feed on plankton

Dr Sam Collin, of the Scottish Wildlife Trust, said: "Basking Sharks are only in Scottish seas for around six months of the year but it is vital that we do all we can to protect them from harm.

"The proposed MPA is a welcome Step Forward for the conservation of this threatened species and adds to a growing network of protected areas around Scotland. "

Calum Duncan, of The Marine Conservation Society, said Scotland's wildlife and environment were of "immense value" both in their own right and to Scotland's "global reputation".

He said: "We urge as many people as possible to join our campaign to ensure basking Sharks , and other features, have better protection in Scottish waters. "

Stuart Mcmillan , SNP MSP for Greenock and Inverclyde and a "species champion" for the Basking Shark said marine protected areas offered a chance to "safeguard precious marine life for Future Generations ".

Dolphins are also found in The Sea of the Hebrides

Basking Sharks are the second largest fish in The World , reaching lengths up to 10m (33ft).

They have no teeth and feed on microscopic plankton with their huge, wide-open mouths.

Every summer The Sharks gather in large numbers around small islands between Skye and Mull, off Scotland's West Coast .

They are also found off the islands of Coll, Tiree and Hyskeir, before later migrating south to waters around Madeira and the Canary Islands off West Africa .
