"Emergency services are racing against time to rescue 170 people cut
off by the rapidly rising tide waters while digging for shellfish in
north-western England's Morecambe Bay today, the coastguard said.
"The cocklers were cut off after an accident involving their
tractors," said the operations manager at the Morecambe Bay lifeboat
station, Michael Guy.
More than 100 rescuers and fishermen were involved in the rescue
operation.
In February, 21 migrant Chinese workers drowned when they were caught
by racing tides while gathering cockles in the famously treacherous
shallows of Morecambe Bay.
Police believe two people are still missing, presumed dead, and five
people have been charged in relation to the incident."

Thanks, my boy, for your Xth confirmation of the waterside theory:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AAT
Description:
* Human evolution based on comparative anatomy & physiology.
* Comparative & fossil information on human & ape evolution.
* Waterside diaspora of Homo after Homo & Pan split ~5 Ma.

AAT:
* Aquatic Ape Theory of human evolution (original term E.Morgan 1982)
* Aquarboreal Apes Theory of Mio-Pliocene apes (aqua=water, arbor=tree)
* Amphibious Ancestors Theory of Plio-Pleistocene Homo (AAT strict sense)

AAT s.s. is based on the behavior/anatomy/physiology/DNA of living humans
compared to chimps & other living animals.

Collection of waterside foods (eg, fruits, (coco)nuts, turtle & bird eggs,
shell/crayfish, water(side)plants, drowned herbivores, stranded whales etc.)
explains unique Homo traits (not seen in apes & australopiths) better than
dwelling in forests or dry plains: huge brain, slow-diving skills, breath
control, vocality, small mouth+chewing muscles, tongue bone descent, longer
airway, projecting nose, poor sense of smell, handiness & tool use, late
puberty, long legs, alined body, poor climbing, flat feet, fur loss,
fatness, profuse sweating, high needs of water, sodium, iodine,
poly-unsat.fatty acids (DHA), etc. All these features are typically seen in
different combinations in waterside & (semi)aquatic animals, but strikingly
absent in savanna dwelling mammalsS.Munoz.

Homo & Pan separated ~6­4 Ma. Homo populations dispersed along
lakes/shores/rivers in savannas & elsewhere, eg, crossed 18 km sea to reach
Flores 0.8 Ma.
Homo tools/fossils 2.5­0.1 Ma are found near Rift valley lakes & even (sea
level fluctuations hindered fossilisation) Indian Ocean & African coasts,
often amid seashells (Mojokerto, Dungo V Baia Farta, Terra Amata, Table Bay,
Eritrea etc.).
