Brunei Bay is the gateway to Brunei and Borneo. The Brunei portion of the bay is in two sections separated by a finger of Sarawak (Limbang) about 6km wide at the coast. It is a deeply indented bay with an area of about 250,000 ha (c.50,ooo ha in Brunei territory), shared between Brunei Darussalam and the East Malaysian States of Sarawak and Sabah. A chain of islands including the large Malaysian island of Labuan forms the boundary between the bay and the South China Sea. Most of the east and south shores of the bay are covered in extensive mangrove forests with associated mudflats and sandflats at the mouths of the major estuaries. The mangrove forests form a continuous, intact forest within Bruneian territory, but those within the adjacent Sarawak territory have been largely clear-felled to supply the wood-chip industry. Freshwater flows into the bay via a labyrinth of interconnecting channels and waterways.]]> Brunei Bay

Sulphur Bay is a bay on the eastern side of Tanna island in Vanuatu. Nearby is Mount Yasur, called the world's most accessible volcano, and the area is the center of the John Frum cargo cult, a movement that believes their savior, an American World War II GI, resides within Yasur.

Hidden along the Caribbean coast is one of the most spectacular Bioluminescent Bays in the world. The mysterious blue-green light is created by micro-organisms which thrive in an environment uniquely suited to their needs. A trip into the bay on a balmy night is a magical experience. Fish flash by in dark water, and a swim is like floating through stardust.

This unique bay contains up to 720,000 single-celled bioluminescent dinoflagellates per gallon of water. These half-plant, half-animal organisms emit a flash of bluish light when agitated at night. The high concentration of these creatures (Pyrodimium bahamense) can create enough light to read a book from.]]> Bioluminescent Bay (Mosquito Bay)

Botany Bay is a bay in Sydney, New South Wales, a few kilometres south of the Sydney central business district. The Cooks River and the Georges River are the two major tributaries that flow into the bay. Two runways of Sydney Airport extend into the bay. On 29 April 1770, Botany Bay was the site of James Cook's first landing of HMS Endeavour on the continent of Australia, after his extensive navigation of New Zealand. Later the British planned Botany Bay as the site for a penal colony. Out of these plans came the first European habitation of Australia at Sydney Cove.]]> Botany Bay

Cuper's Cove, on the southwest shore of Conception Bay on Newfoundland's Avalon Peninsula was an early English settlement in the New World, and the second one after the Jamestown Settlement to endure for longer than a year. It was established in 1610 by John Guy on behalf of Bristol's Society of Merchant Venturers, who had been given a charter by King James I of England to establish a colony on the island of Newfoundland. Most of the settlers left in the 1620s, but apparently a few stayed on and the site was continuously inhabited.]]> Cuper's Cove

Yachting venue olympic 1996. In addition to the four racecourses—course A in Wassaw Sound and B, C, and D in the Atlantic
Ocean—the yachting venue included a satellite
Olympic Village in downtown Savannah, an
Olympic marina on Wilmington Island, and a
temporary day marina on the northern side of
Wassaw Sound. The Riverfront Marriott, locatedin the historic district, served as the satellite
Olympic Village. Sail Harbor Marina on Wilmington
Island, located about 15 mi (24 km)
southeast of the Village, was the site of the
Olympic marina, and the day marina was a
150,000 sq ft (14,000 sq m) barge moored at
the mouth of the Wilmington River.
The day marina, the first of its kind to be
used at an Olympic Games, enabled athletes
to store their boats safely and securely in
close proximity to the racecourses, thus eliminating
the long sail or tow for all events except
the keelboats (Solings and Stars). The National
Weather Service provided significant
on-site support with excellent, highly detailed
forecasting.]]> Wassaw Sound

In the 3rd century AD, the area was the site of a Roman castrum, named Lapurdum. It was a military place, but not a port. In 840, the Vikings launched a large-scale inland offensive and settled outside the city on the river bank. Lapurdum was an oppidum and they needed a port. Bayonne (from Basque ibai 'river') became a key place on the route between the Adour and Ebro Rivers. This commercial route was the main goal of Danish invaders in France. By this route, they could easily reach Tortosa, which was the main marketplace in Europe dealing with slaves.

By the 12th century the city was an important port. The French, however, realised Bayonne's strategic site near the Spanish border and in 1578 dug a canal to redirect the river through the city once again.

Bayonne endured numerous sieges from Plantagenet times until the end of the First French Empire in 1814. In the 17th century, Vauban built large fortifications and the Citadelle in and around the city. These proved crucial in 1813 and 1814, when Wellington's army besieged the city in the Napoleonic Wars, only taking it when they used a bridge of ships across the Adour to position artillery around the city. Now is a militay installation with the barrack of 1er Régiment de Parachutistes d'Infanterie de Marine (1er RPIMA) special force af French Army]]> Citadelle de Bayonne

The Hole In The Wall: Near Coffee Bay is a prominent rock formation with a big hole in the middle, which has become a symbol for the Xhosa of a great historical tragedy, the "Great Cattle Killing".

The Hole in the Wall is a unique structure with a huge detached cliff that has a giant opening carved through its centre by the waves.

The local Xhosa call this place "izi Khaleni", which means "place of thunder". During certain seasons and water conditions (high tide) the waves clap is such a fashion that the concussion can be heard throughout the valley.

The Legend of The Hole in the Wall: A young girl called nongqawuse had seen a messenger from the realm of the ancestors at a waterhole. She told her uncle Mhlakaza about her vision. As he was an important Xhosa priest, his social rank granted a great impact to the prophecy he derived from his niece's vision. He announced that soldiers who were incarnations of the souls of dead Xhosa warriors, would arrive on the 18th of February over the sea, come onto land through the "Hole in the Wall" and defeat the hated British. But, he continued, the Xhosa had to make a sacrifice to help the warriors by destroying all their cereals and killing all their cattle. After the victory, there would be food in abundance for everybody.

The Xhosa followed the instructions in his prophecy and killed their whole stock of cattle. The catastrophe took its course. Thousands of Xhosa starved and the British had an easy time conquering the remaining people.]]> Hole in the Wall

Recently inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List as part of the Islands and Protected Areas of the Gulf of California site.

From the Advisory Body Evaluation:
The waters of the Upper Gulf and Colorado River Delta are shallow (50-200m) and becoming more saline (to 35.5ppm) as a result of the upstream diversions of the
Colorado River, which started in 1909. But they have a variety of intertidal wetlands and sandy and rocky coasts of coquina (cemented molluscs). The sea floor is mud
and silts near the delta, sandy and rocky further south. In this area there are 18 species of marine mammal. One of most important for conservation is the so-called
"vaquita", or Gulf porpoise, which is one of the world’s four rarest marine mammals. There are also sea lion, 5 species of dolphin, 11 species of whales and 161
species of fish, 42 of them endemic. Marine invertebrate include 35 species of mollusc and 190 decapods.]]> Upper Gulf of California and Colorado River Delta Biosphere reserve
