British islands were fortified in both world wars, and concrete coastal defences still stand on several of them. Strong tides surround British islands, and the Channel Islands have some of the world's largest tidal ranges. Seafood is central to island food, with crab, lobster, scallops, mackerel and oysters landed by small boats. British islands are reached by car ferries, passenger ferries and, in some cases, scheduled flights.
