Sweden's floating capital

Article Abstract:

Stockholm, Sweden, is a city rich in cultural events, such as the annual summer Water Festival, which is capped by the spectacular International Fireworks Championships. The Festival draws over 360,000 visitors a day and includes a variety of musical and dramatic performances. The city, which extends over an archipelago of 14 islands, seems the perfect location for a waterfront festival. The 1997 Water Festival is scheduled for Aug 8 through Aug 16. Those wishing to experience an average 16 hours of daily sunshine, however, should plan to visit the city between May and July.

Article Abstract:

The UK's Coastal Directories Project, under the auspices of the Joint Nature Conservation Committee, is an attempt to preserve and map the country's coastal ecology. The directories are used in planning oil exploration and environmental protection efforts. Ultimately, the data will have to be updated digitally in order to provide the best guidance possible in coastal zone management.
