Gibraltar-Morocco Research Continues

Moroccan Researchers on the Rock

As part of GIBMANATUR, the Gibraltar-Morocco EU-funded Interreg Project, the collaborative work between the Gibraltar Ornithological & Natural History Society and the Scientific Institute of the University of Rabat, continues.

Currently in Gibraltar are two Moroccan researchers, Mohamed Ameziane and Abdel Elbanak.  Both are undergoing training, as part of the programme, into ornithological techniques.   Mohamed in addition is the holder of a GONHS Studentship to assist him in his work.   They are training under the supervision of Ian Thompson of GONHS.

During their visit to Gibraltar they have been mainly involved in ornithological research, but have also been introduced to other aspects of Gibraltar's ecology, as well as having visited most of the main sites of interest, accompanied by local GONHS members.
