reefGIBRALTAR’S controversial artificial reef is ‘teeming with life’, two years after it drew furious protests from Spain.

The Rock’s environmental department claims the decision to install the reef is now completely vindicated as it ‘exploding with life’.

“This is what happens when you let Mother Nature do her work,” said Stephen Warr, senior environment officer.

“We kick-started things because we know that in the area where the reef was laid there used to be sea grass, so we are trying to restore the marine environment to its former glory.”
