What is a Site of Special Interest?
A (SSI) or a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) in Great Britain broadly mean the same thing; they are conservation designations placed on sites to protect their special biological or geological features. Some areas, such as the sand dunes of Les Blanches Banques or the heathlands of Les Landes can encompass entire landscapes and are familiar to most Island residents, who visit them for walking and enjoying the wildlife and landscape.
Jersey has 22 SSIs the first was designated in 1996. one of them is st Aubin’s fort
ST Aubin’s fort was originally built in 1540 to defend Jerseys main port at the time it was then added to and used by the Germans in 1940-45.
this shows where I took my images from on the photoshoot. I started taking shots looking up at le Grande l’etacq then I went out the top to get a better point of view along the cliffs. then I went down to stinky bay and explored the coast line and the interesting curves created by the coastal erosion. The ravine and crevasse provided a lot of substance for me to focus my lens on. we walked along the cliff paths taking photos of the protruding rocks along the coast line to le Pinnaccle.
