The Irish Sea is a body of salt water, which separates the two islands of Great Britain and Ireland in north-west Europe. It connects to the Atlantic Ocean by the St George's Channel in the south, and the North Channel in the north. It also contains the islands of Anglesey and the Isle of Man.
As there is no bridge or tunnel alternative to crossing the Irish Sea, about 12 million people cross by ferries each year, very few of them geohashers.
The Irish Sea is relatively small, but is neatly placed near graticule boundaries, and just manages to contain one graticule that is wholly water. The Fishguard graticule to the south of this is over 99% water.
