The Nautilus Project says fishing with illegal commercial "purse seine" fishing nets harms the eco-system, as they indiscriminately fish anything that gets caught in it. Last night a fishing boat was spotted using what appear to be these nets off the East Side. The Environment Department's vessel, Storm Petrel, dealt with the incident by escorting the boat out of Gibraltar waters. Claire Hernandez told us more.

 

GBC ran a story regarding the Overseas Santorini tanker in recent days, in which she sought to restock supplies and fuel on the Rock. In the end the vessel did not make port or refuel, but did receive food and other provisions from local companies. We reflect on the challenges that the news team have faced in covering the story.

 

Five years since it's inaugural party, the final 'Que Pasa' event was held at the Europa Sports Arena on Saturday night. It featured a range of DJ's - both local and international - and according to the organisers it went smoothly. Nonetheless, organisers Jestin Benyunes and Jonathan Collado say it has become unsustainable to keep the festival going in future.


And, we look ahead to some great live music happening tomorrow. Local band Cedar will be performing, alongside Guy Valarino & The Gentlemen in Ocean Village. We spoke to Daryll Pallas, who plays the drums for Cedar, as well as singer Guy Valarino.
