• fog nets to capture levanter moisture - collaborating with design assistance from fellow Prize applicant Nigel-Albert Garcia.
• metal creature structures for collecting recyclable waste in the school.

Tania and Gaynor discuss how the projects are going so far and what the next steps are.

The second podcast in the Hassans' Environment Prize trilogy, hosted by Senior Associate and project lead, Tania Rahmany, is with Gibraltar College’s Assistant to Business and Social Sciences Sarah-Jane Roberts and Curriculum Co-ordinator, Vanessa Saccone Recagno.

Their project aim was to provide their Level 1 students with a PBL (project-based learning) field trip to La Granja Escuela in Los Barrios in Spain to foster a love for nature, and an understanding of environment and to continue building their knowledge of environmental factors and sustainability measures through the creation of a plant centre within the College.

Senior Associate and Hassans' Environment Prize project lead, Tania Rahmany, welcomes Dr Awantha Dissanayake and Masters’ Student Viviane Wiedecke from the School of Marine and Environmental Science at the University of Gibraltar in the first of a trilogy of podcasts catching up on the progress each winning project has made.

This project focuses on coral restoration within Gibraltar waters and is aimed at engaging the whole community in being able to monitor, both via dives and via digital technology, the status of Astroides calycularis through the installation of specific tools such as coral frames which will encourage growth. The community will also be given the opportunity to “adopt-a-coral”, so that they can support and even perhaps enjoy seeing the growth of new marine life for themselves.
