This picture, sent to us by Richard Wait, shows an old fishing net caught on one of Gibraltar’s underwater wrecks.
The wrecks around Gibraltar’s coastline are a major attraction for local divers and a magnet for sea life. Concerned divers have said that, at a time when a new artificial reef off the runway has led to heightened cross-border tensions, it is important to remember that older and more established reefs around the Rock are being threatened by illegal fishing activity and other environmental hazards.
