Everything about The Celtic Sea totally explained
The
Celtic Sea (; ; ; ; ) is the area of the
Atlantic Ocean off the south coast of
Ireland. It is bounded to the east by
Saint George's Channel, the
Bristol Channel and the
English Channel, as well as adjacent portions of
Wales,
Cornwall,
Devon and
Brittany. The
Celtic heritage of the bounding lands give the sea its name, first proposed by
E. W. L. Holt in 1921. The northern portion of this sea had previously been considered as part of
Saint George's Channel and the southern portion as an undifferentiated part of the "
Southwest Approaches" to Great Britain. The need for a common name came to be felt because of common
geology and
hydrology. The name is now commonly used by workers in the
oil and
fishing industries.
The southern and western boundaries are less clearly defined. Holt suggested the 200
fathom (366
m) marine
contour and
Ushant; the
International Hydrographic Organization definition uses
rhumb lines and extends slightly further south.
