Our charity's main aims are marine conservation and dolphin research. We specialise in Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) on marinas and golf courses and constructed Europe's first artificial reef. During regular boat and diving expeditions we monitor local marine life; our findings have been featured internationally at conferences and in the media.
We assist scholars from all over the world in their research and also engage in terrestrial research and conservation projects. These include projects as diverse as bee-keeping and primatology, the founder of the Helping Hand Trust, Dr Eric Shaw, is also contracted via the Gibraltar Government to supervise the free-ranging monkeys within Gibraltar's Upper Rock Nature Reserve.

Last week a tank at Gibraltar’s sullage plant exploded, an additional one, containing oil waste, burnt out. With the change of wind yesterday, water pollution was evident in Coaling Island. It has yet to be determined, whether this is a result of the explosion; due to bunkering; or even the activities of Algeciras' refinery. Please, see our pictures below.

The Bavarian Higher Administrative Court yesterday was the second authority to rule in favour of dolphin conservationists: The city of Nuremberg, as the provider of the city's zoo, had to provide access to its records in its dolphinarium's husbandry, breeding and dolphin death rates. As a consequence the legitimisation of Nuremberg's dolphinarium is threatened.
