During the spring migration in particular, great use is made of the premises at Jews' Gate on the Upper Rock. During days with westerly winds the birdwatchers gather to observe the impressive passage of birds of prey. In summer, the main activity is the watching of seabird passage, virtually every afternoon from Europa Point. The Society encourages the study of marine life, be it on the shore or in the high seas. Some of the members undertake scientific research, but there are opportunities to find out about seashore life, dolphins, fish, and other marine species.
Divers are also welcome.
Ongoing projects include the building of artificial reefs. Disastrous consequences which fishing nets pose to dolphins Mammal Study Group Gibraltar's mammals allow an opportunity for study. Members have in the past helped in surveys and setting up of boxes for bats. There is a great deal more work to be done in promoting the well-being of our mammals, notably our bats and rabbits, both of which are in decline, and in establishing the status of other species in Gibraltar, notably the red fox. Re-introduction projects are also under way.
