Nov 15 – Deployment Of Buoys At Western Beach To Mark “No-Go Area”
Work will commence today to deploy four buoys at Western Beach. Resolve Marine have been contracted to undertake this work.
The contractors will be using a workboat with a small crane to lower concrete sinkers into the water to weight four large buoys.
The purpose of deploying these buoys is to increase airport safety by discouraging the presence of leisure craft in this area and to facilitate bird scaring controls.
Resolve Marine have indicated that this work, which has been approved by the Government of Gibraltar and the Ministry of Defence, is expected to be completed in one day, weather permitting. The buoys will remain in situ to indicate a ‘no-go’ area for vessels without prior authority and liaison with RAF Gibraltar.
