There has been an outdoor street market near Lower Thames Street since Henry IV granted the citizens the rights to collect tolls at Billingsgate. In 1699 an Act of Parliament was passed making it "a free and open market for all sorts of fish whatsoever". The first Billingsgate Market building was constructed on Lower Thames Street in 1850 for the largest fish market in the world. This was demolished c.1873 and replaced in 1876 by the building that is the host venue for ICP. In 1982, the fish market was relocated to a new 13-acre (53,000 m²) building complex close to Canary Wharf in the Docklands. I am going to report today on research conducted jointly by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and the Marine Research Institute (MRI), Reykjavik, Iceland. Together, we have continuously deployed a time-series sediment trap from 1986 to present at a site NE of Iceland in the Iceland Sea.
