#gibraltarmarinesciencestudies 🇬🇮🌊Awe and wonder at #CampBay this morning as we kickstart our World Ocean Day events calendar 🌍Pupils from St Anne's had the opportunity to interact with some of our fascinating #marineinvertebrates through our catch, learn and release program 🦀🐙🪼🐚🦑This reconnection with nature is vital in order to instill a passion for our #marinewildlife in our future generations who will in no doubt do so much better than we have in protecting our beautiful coastline 🙏Not all learning takes place in a classroom and the great outdoors in this small corner of the world we are blessed to call home, deserves our respect and protection 💙Our thanks to the land team, Matvey, Desiree, Ryan, Melanie and Emily who joined our Marine Biologist for today's session 🙌#gibraltar #sciencecommunication #sciencecommunicator #BuildingFutureLeaders #reconnectingwithnature #preservation #conservation ...

Over the last decade there has been a large number of new environmental laws introduced which recognise the importance of protecting our marine ecosystem. This has been hugely welcomed universally by all local NGO's.However, the enforcement of these laws appears to be sadly lacking with foreign commercial fishing vessels using illegal techniques; this is happening daily.Deployment of these nets cause huge damage which is why they have been outlawed throughout the whole of the EU. What is the point of environmental laws if they are not enforced by anyone? ... See MoreSee Less

#rosiabay 7/4/23The 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.Currently conducting our survey at #HistoricRosiaBay since yesterday's oil spill🛢 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.Clear evidence that a protected species is being impacted; again 😠 The populations are showing clear signs of stress and we expect more detachments 😡 #gibraltar #nemo #bgtw #EnvironmentalImpact #Limpet #endangered #gibraltar ...

We have numerous reports in full force of oil washing up at Sandy Bay and other areas of the Eastern coastline 🛢 Strong smells of fuel in the area are being reported also 😠 This comes at the same time as reports claiming that the #OS35 has shifted positions, now tilting to the east.This oil affects the reproduction rates of fish and invertebrates at the base of the food web 😡 Once again this spill is harming our marine environment and these effects will take around 10 years to work its way out of the marine ecosystem 💔 It seems that despite the work done to secure the fuel that there is still enough to cause damage to our coastline 😔 We HAVE to do better!Photo credits: A.Serra and C.Byrne#thegiftthatkeepsongiving #gibraltar #oilspill #again ...

#gibraltarmarinesciencestudies 🇬🇮 Nautilus has kickstarted a further science outreach targeted for our up and rising youth sports squads ⚽️🥋 🎾 🤿 🏀 🏑🏈Leading healthy lifestyles in all areas is key as they commit to reaching their full potential 💪As the future generation of Gibraltarian citizens showcase their sporting talents both locally and abroad, they will inevitably lead by example 🙏🥅Some of the Gibraltar Football Association youth squads have joined us this half-term, learning about our marine environment and how our actions can positively or negatively affect our coastline. We do after all form part of the ecosystem! 🌊 Thanks to Scott Wiseman for sharing our vision and organising! 💙 #gibraltar the future looks bright with our youth at the helm 🌟 #GFA #grassroots #GrassrootsFootball #OurYouthOurFuture #gibraltar #sports #marineconservation #TogetherWeCan #StrongerTogether ...

1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣👀The Great Gibraltar Beach Cleans initiative kickstarted 6 years ago at #HistoricRosiaBay on 18th February 2017 🪣 It’s been quite the rollercoaster, cleaning up the whole of the Gibraltar coastline on a rotational basis and achieving this milestone 💪 For the Nautilus team it made all the sense in the world to host the 100th #TGGBC at Rosia Bay, a double whammy; 2 milestones in one day: 100 cleans plus the 6th anniversary 🩵 Back full circle 🔵 Inspired by our two boys, Alex and AJ, this initiative has turned into massive community labour of love 💙 Thank you for your support Gibraltar 🇬🇮 We were joined by Diving with Nic, Scuba Ellie and the Resolve Marine Dive team. These two groups joined forces and hauled hundreds of glass bottles, ropes, fishing lures, nets and even a TV! 🤿 Based at the Critter Station, we had Nautilus core members Brian and Desiree, meticulously checking through every item retrieved from the basin. Hundreds of tiny critters, including crabs, spider crabs, brittle stars, sea urchins, chitons, polychaete worms and more, were found amidst the rubbish and separated onto a separate salt water vat 🦀 🦐These were then returned safely back to the ocean 🌊 Clubhouse Gibraltar, The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award Gibraltar , students from Prior Park School and Gibraltar College joined members from the public and scoured the whole area and revetments scooping up all the debris lying around ♻️ A special mention to Paco Aquilina, for trundling down not only to help out but bringing down a chocolate cake to celebrate the landmark, enjoyed by all the volunteers 🍰Metalrok LTD collected all the refuse, weighing in at 460kg, in just 90 minutes! 👊 Teamwork certainly does make the dream work! 🙏 Here’s to the next 100 cleans whilst hoping we turn the tide and we’ll turn this problem around before!

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.
