Representatives from Blue Shark Power have been visiting Gibraltar again, this time to conduct oceanographic studies in British Gibraltar Territorial Waters. Experts from Énergie de la Lune (an engineering firm specialising in marine renewable energy oceanography) accompanied by officials from the Department of the Environment & Climate Change, have been surveying the southern waters of Gibraltar in order to determine the most promising locations for potential deployment of marine current technology. Using an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP), the team have been measuring water current velocities over a depth range to identify the sites which have the strongest currents.

This year, as last year, the Ceremony of Remembrance will be held at the British War Memorial on Line Wall Road, opposite City Hall, at noon. The Government of Gibraltar, which organises the ceremony, has committed itself to returning the Ceremony to the Cross of Sacrifice once the airport tunnel is in use.
