The following is copied from a post on TOP - if you haven't already done it please take the time to sign this petition - it would be great to be able to post tidal data on here again without being threatened . . .
Go on, http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/Tidetable-data - it only takes two minutes!There is currently a "PM.GOV Petition" asking for tide table information to be made available at no cost:
Please could you go to the following web site: http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/Tidetable-data, and sign the petition. We believe that this data should be available to all in any form that they desire. Effectively it seems to us that the Government is trying to copyright a natural phenomenon. Move over Canute!
If you think it important enough, please could you forward the information on to your friends as well. The timescale for this petition is short - so please spare a few minutes to do this.
