My copy has inexplicacbly not been delivered yet but I think it sounds
rather splendid, actually.
I'm hoping you'll tell us more - how have the populations been affected
by changing patterns of tourist activity in Minehead, Porthcawl, and
Weston-super-Mud, for example.

Coo, well done!
Do you subscribe to said journal? Only they asked if they could use one of
my Geograph photos some time ago, I posted some low-res versions of the
same subject on flickr so she could choose what she wanted and I could
provide higher res files - never heard another thing :(

We do get the JMBA, but I suspect you might be referring to its glossy
companion, which is called something like Global Marine Environment,
hammerite? Think we get the occasional copy of that too, but nothing
like regularly. I can hunt out the ones we've got, if you like - any
idea what the article was about?
Ann Pulsford, I think, is the commissioning editor - would that be who
you dealt with? She does tend to be a bit hard to track down
sometimes...

(and cheers to otherrats, too).
Must confess, my part in the whole caboodle was mainly restricted to
collecting the data, and proofing the paper; the other two chaps did all
the Jolly Hard Sums. A few interesting facts, though:
Total number of shrimps counted in 25 years, around 350,000.
Greatest number of shrimps collected in one sampling trip, 34,000,
counted in 6 hours.
Number of Olympic Breakfasts (1) consumed in the Little Chef in Podimore
on the way home: unquantifiable.
(1) which would probably be better named Papworth General Breakfasts.

Are you quite sure the shrimps interviewed were a fully representative
sample?
I hope the data is not skewed by the more extrovert ones who were happy
to give an opinion to you market researchers.
Some shrimps can spot a clip-board from some distance you know.
