The Ana Serra Collection 🌊 We are delighted to launch the new Nautilus t-shirt line with marine animal designs created by the amazing local artist, Ana Serra 💙 With three unique designs presently, the collection is set to grow adding more of our incredible sea life images to the Nautilus Sustainable Online Shop products.• The Jellyfish design represents the increase in jellyfish blooms partly due to warming waters associated with Climate Change and the decline of turtles, a main predator of jellyfish. • The Nautilus design is representative of the Charity’s logo.• The Seahorse design represents the dwindling numbers of the two species that inhabit our waters and the importance of Saving Rosia Bay, one of the last homes locally to these iconic fish. All proceeds go towards supporting the charity and the expenses that go into making our educational outreach program possible 🙏 Ana, who successfully completed her Silver #DofE service with us, is continuing her Gold journey 👏 We are very grateful to Ana for donating her incredible talent to aid the charity and we're ecstatic to be able to support her artistry 🎨 #Gibraltar the future looks bright 🌞 ✨️ #artist #OurYouthOurFuture #inspire #AnaSerraCollection #supportingourcommunity #SupportingOurYouthThe Duke of Edinburgh's International Award Gibraltar Cotton Leisure Ltd ...

Upon leaving the oil spill cleaning operation that took place on Sunday at Sandy Bay, one of our volunteers, spotted an area past Black Strap Cove that needed attention 👀 A recce ensued in order to risk assess the area followed by a keen group of Nautilus, DofE participants & leaders, MedOceanHeroes and members of Save Catalan Bay joining forces. Whilst a couple swam from Caleta to the area, the rest carefully accessed via the cliff, handing the equipment down. Materials donated worked a treat as the boom contained the oil in the area, allowing the volunteers to begin manually cleaning the rocks - nothing short of about 60! 🪨Another successful 3 hour operation - mucky, ardous but essential 🙏 Well done team! 👏 #togetherstronger #oilspill #teamwork #Gibraltar #civicpride #NationalDayIncoming ...

The Ribbed Mediterranean Limpet (Patella ferruginea) is the most endangered endemic marine invertebrate on the Western Mediterranean coasts according to the European Council Directive 92/43/EEC.It is also listed as protected under our own Nature Protection Act 1991-11.Yesterday we conducted our first snorkel survey since the oil spill on the inside of the southern revetment at Sandy Bay. We were sad to encounter some recently deceased invertebrates along the rocks. At this stage the organisms worst hit appear to be the limpets, albeit currently in small numbers.These molluscs are presently moving off their home scars because of the oil. As they weaken they fall off the rock and are quickly devoured by fish in the water below.The instance of the deceased Ribbed Mediterranean Limpet demonstrates that a protected species has been impacted. The populations are showing clear signs of stress and we expect more detachments.#gibraltar #nemo #bgtw #environmentalimpact #limpet #endangered #gibraltar ... See MoreSee Less

An ardous retrieval ensued.An ounce of #civicpride goes along way. The sea 🌊 is not a bin. Please dispose of your refuse in a responsible manner 🙏 and let's conserve what our children deserve.
