The
Kingfisher Information Service
operates the KIS-CA project, which enables fishermen to receive
information of cable routes and other physical details (e.g. repeaters,
splices, etc), together with emergency contact numbers and procedures. The
waters covered by the project are the North Sea, English Channel (La
Manche), Bristol Channel/Southwest Approaches, Irish Sea and West of
Scotland (i.e. ICES Areas IV, VII and VI) - and therefore include cables
between the coasts of Norway, Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium,
France, Ireland and the UK. United States Coast Guard Home-Page
