Post & Go - Europa 2024

Post & Go machines issue a new generation of self-adhesive postage stamps that are rapdily capturing the interest of stamp collectors. The stamps were first introduced by the Royal Mail back in 2008. Gibraltar is proud to issue a new set of Post & Go for the Europa 2024 issue.

The Strait of Gibraltar serves as a crucial passageway connecting the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea, and within its waters resides a diverse array of marine life, including the iconic Orca, or killer whale. Orcas inhabiting the Strait of Gibraltar are part of a distinct population known as the Northeastern Atlantic Orca population. These magnificent creatures are apex predators in their marine ecosystem, exhibiting remarkable intelligence and complex social structures.

The Orca population in the Strait of Gibraltar primarily feeds on a variety of marine species, including fish, seals, and dolphins. They are known for their highly coordinated hunting techniques, often working together in pods to pursue and capture their prey. The nutrient-rich waters of the Strait provide ample food sources for these apex predators, supporting their survival and contributing to their role as top predators in the region.
