Saving Seas on a Shoestring: A case study in Gibraltar
In a world where people are beginning to take protecting our oceans seriously, governments are being put under increasing pressure to achieve the international targets that have been set. The United Kingdom has been set a number of targets, through its own government and previous membership of the European Union, that require certain actions to achieve. These targets and actions such as extensive marine monitoring programmes have been dispersed to the UK’s crown dependencies and Gibraltar. Gibraltar, however, does not have access to the extensive resources available to the UK, and as a result faces challenges in implementation. In this talk, I will give an overview of the challenges being faced, discuss the steps that Gibraltar has already successfully taken, and potential tools that could be used to make the job of marine conservation easier in Gibraltar and other countries that may be facing similar circumstances.
