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.

    HM GOVERNMENT OF GIBRALTAR MINISTRY FOR SPORTS, CULTURE, HERITAGE & YOUTH 310 Main Street Gibraltar PRESS RELEASE No: 336/2014 Date: 3rd July 2014 Budget Speech 2014 By the Minister for Sports, Culture, Heritage, Youth, Utilities, Postal Services, Fire and Rescue Services, Refuse Collection and Civil Contingencies The Hon Steven Linares Mr Speaker, I have been a member of this House for fourteen years. It is a great honour and privilege for me to deliver my third budget speech as the Minister for Sports, Culture, Heritage, Youth, Utilities, Postal Services, Fire and Rescue Services, Refuse Collection and Civil Contingencies. I will commence with Culture and Heritage. The House will recall that during my last budget speech and more recently in my contribution during the second reading of the repeal of the Gibraltar Culture and Heritage Agency Act in March I explained the mess that we inherited in relation to the Gibraltar Culture and Heritage Agency (GCHA). I outlined, among other matters, the way in which the previous administration gave wage hikes to people just weeks before the last General Election. I cannot help but mention to the Honourable the Leader of the Opposition that when he mentions the fact that the Culture and Heritage budget has increased this year from £3.8m to £5m which represents a 31.6% increase he should consider the fact that the forming of the agency which was their doing it cost the taxpayer an increase of 100% ie from £1.9m to the £3.8m?? It has been a long process to undo the structure that we inherited.
