Its strategic location and prominence have attracted the attention of many civilisations, past and present, giving rise to the rich history and popularity of ‘The Rock’. In addition to its geographical importance, Gibraltar is just as impressive from a naturalist’s perspective. It boasts many terrestrial and marine species, most of which are protected under the Nature Protection Act 1991, Gibraltar’s pioneering nature conservation legislation. Gibraltar’s climate is Mediterranean, with mild, sometimes wet winters and warm, dry summers. Its terrain includes a narrow coastal lowland to the west, bordering the 426 metre high Rock of Gibraltar. With a terrestrial area of 6.53 km2 and territorial waters extending up to three nautical miles to the east and south and up to the median line in the Bay of Gibraltar, it is of no surprise that Gibraltar’s biological resources are inevitably limited.

Alasdair Pinkerton (Royal Holloway, University of London) Matthew C. Benwell (Newcastle University) In June 2016, the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union. Perhaps the most memorable result was the first to be declared – not only because of the enormity of the consensus expressed, but also because, somewhat counter intuitively, the result came from outside the United Kingdom altogether. Voters in the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar—a rocky Mediterranean promontory, ceded to Great Britain by Spain in 1713— expressed an overwhelming 96% support for remaining within the European Union; the single largest majority of any of the returning areas in the EU referendum (Garcia, 2016). The Gibraltar result was a direct reflection of the critical importance of the EU for the lives, livelihoods and future prosperity of Gibraltar’s
