The exact date of their construction is hard to determine, but they do have some historical grounding; they were noted by Captain George Vancouver on his visit to the area in 1791 and by Lieutenant Parker King in 1818. Almost certainly dating them to the pre-contact period. 2/3

Communities fight 'corporate' bid for seaweed rights Communities on Ireland's west coast say they will fight to safeguard their traditional seaweed rights against what they describe as a "corporate takeover "of their livelihoods.

Battle in the west of Ireland, for the oceans green gold seaweed!!. Local communities struggle to keep access to their historical seaweed cutting and harvesting rights as a private company seek to gain cutting rights from the state.

During the dry season tripods fences are fixed to bedrock by taking advantage of naturally occurring holes and pockets that have been worn by the water. The tripods align across the river forming a barrier which catches fish during the period of rising and falling waters.
