Exciting developments for the marine conservation charity as we kickstart 2023 🩵Since the inception of the Nautilus flagship citizen science application NEMO released on World Environment Day 2018, the app reached the World Challenge Global Forum semi-finals held in Tbilisi later that same year 💪Working closing with BDRI (Bottlenose Dolphin Research Institute) based in Galicia Spain, Nautilus are delighted to launch our 2nd marine science app ‘Orcinus’ now available on both Android and iOS 👏 The new app records the presence of orcas in real time and shares this information with the entire community of Orcinus app users. Reports of sightings instantly provide navigators with data to aid planning their routes ⛵️ The main objective of Orcinus is to contribute to safer navigation making it possible to find out both in advance and instantaneously of killer whales in the area, geolocated by other vessels that will have recorded their sightings 📌 Given the recent issues that have arisen with interactions with these mammals during recreational sailing, the app will help with safe passage for both these magnificent creatures and sailors alike 🙏 The app, endorsed by the Xunta of Galicia, is now officially launched in Spain throughout all the national Ports and ready to be used worldwide 🌎 Extremely grateful to Aaron and Natalia from MGI Limited for the swift, professional development of the app 🙌 Download from here ⬇️play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.thenautilusproject.orcinus#NautilusInternational #InternationalStage #PlacingGibraltarOnTheMap #MakingStrides #Research #Orcas #KillerWhales #MarineConservation #CitizenScience ...

#GibraltarMarineScienceStudies 🐬🇬🇮 Did you know that we tailor-make marine science talks as part of our educational outreach? Tell us what you need! As per their request, yesterday we launched a new interactive workshop at St Joseph's Upper Primary School 🏫 Oil spill effects are long-lasting. Even if there is no visible sheening or sludge patches to the naked eye, oil has mixed within the water column and detrimental effects can last up to a decade🛢 This past term, Year 4 SJUP pupils have been looking at the human effects of pollution in the environment ♻️ Together, we discussed the damage the OS35 has caused along our coastline, debating "Is it worth it?"🚢 An exceptionally well prepared year group that had certainly put a lot of work into this subject.

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
