By Tessa Bunney on 21 August 2023
There aren’t many traditional wooden cobles or double-enders commercially fishing along the Teesside coast these days. There’s one in Redcar and Levi who is a part-time fisherman going out from Marske, a large village between Redcar and Saltburn-by-the-Sea.
There’s a few boats parked up and a long line…

Grab sampling from the Hartlepool based crab and lobster fishing boat ‘Sarah Beth’ with people who really care about what is happening in the North Sea. Two generations of fishermen (Paul and Jamie Widdowfield), marine biologist Joe Redfern and environmentalist Sally Bunce working together – collecting samples and fighting for their livelihoods and the environment. Within days over a million tonnes of toxic sediment was dredged from the Tees and dumped at sea.

“I go fishing from Redcar with my brother, we have six fleets of 30 pots. After the dredging which was on October the 4th, the catches went down from 45 lobsters out of 180 pots to 7 lobsters and everyone was the same, it was like someone had switched a light out overnight. We’ve never got going since then.” Dave, Saltburn-by-the-Sea

Kayah State, Myanmar
By Tessa Bunney on 28 January 2016I spent last week exploring a small part of Kayah State (formerly known as Karenni), the smallest of Myanmar’s states bordering Thailand’s north western province of Mae Hong Son.
Until recently Kayah State was completely closed to foreigners but began slowly opening up in 2006 with areas only within a 25 km radius of Loikaw allowed, now it is also possible to visit some more remoter areas with a permit.
Decades of armed conflict between the Government and ethnic armed groups has left Myanmar strewn with landmines with Kayah State one of the most affected. In 2012 all of Kayah’s active…

In the air, on the road and up the river
By Tessa Bunney on 25 August 2015Finally after what has seemed like an endless summer I am heading back to Phongsaly province to continue working on my story about the Nam Ou river. The rainy season is a very beautiful time of year in Laos but travelling has its hazards – flight cancellations, landslides, slippery footpaths and roads, potential flooding not to mention the small personal inconvenience of leeches! I am away from 27th August to 3rd September with no internet access but you can probably reach me on my mobile: +856 205864 6100.
