The Bishlan is a rather shallow sea and can be very difficult and dangerous to navigate because of the many sandy and stony reefs and tricky currents, which often shift. In modern times, artificial seabed channels have been dug, many reefs have been dredged by either sand pumping or stone fishing, and a well-developed light signaling network has been installed, to safeguard the very heavy international traffic of this small sea.

 

==Etymology==

 

When the [[Staynes|Staynish]] cartographers mapped Aurora in the 15th century, they named the sea area Bishlan, deriving the suffix from the Staynish word lan, meaning "shallow seas". Bishlan was later the Staynicised name given to the Aberbish cultures in the creation of the name Morstaybishlia.
