Data identifying boundaries (shown as polylines) describing the contact between geological units at the margins of karstic dolines and sinkholes. The scale of the data is 1:10 000 scale. Coverage is provided for the main Maltese Islands. The data includes attribution to identify the local names, and postulated age of formation of the features (in varying levels of detail). Several modes of failure are represented by the doline/sinkholes, The boundaries therefore represent planes of structural failure or flexure. The data are available in vector format (containing the geometry of each feature linked to a database record describing their attributes) as ESRI shapefiles.

This dataset represents the mean sea level and perched groundwater bodies of the Maltese islands.

This dataset represents the WFD monitoring stations for the purpose of status assessment in groundwater and surface water bodies

Land Use Attribute (LUA) map created by the Planning Authority for the European Environmental Agency (EEA). This LUA will be used as information for the EEA's CLC+ Instance, the LULUCF. This land use map was created by the PA in December 2021. Land use classes and class priorities were as designated by the EEA. The LUA layer uses national datasets from both the PA and other government entities.

This dataset consists of part of the Strategic Proposals and Marine Objectives as published in the Strategic Plan for the Environment and Development (SPED). It shows the classification of the landscape into Areas of Landscape Protection and Areas of High Landscape Protection. The data is to be considered as strategic and for indicative purposes only. It should not be used for direct interpretation.

An object oriented geospatial database of the Maltese Islands. This dataset reflects structures and other features which sit upon the earth, such as buildings.

Live births resident in Malta includes all babies whose parent(s) is(are) resident in Malta at the time of birth. Therefore the definition excludes babies born to mothers who are resident abroad.

Local Councils Boundaries defining local councils territorial boundaries (poly line format)

Local Councils Units defining local councils extend and area (polygon format)

This layer shows the siting of the continuous air monitoring stations where air quality is measured according to the requirements of Directive 2008/50/EC.

This layer indicates the location of the air monitoring station for Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons as requested by Directive 2004/107/EC

Every year the Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture (DFA) issues a call for applications (together with a set of conditions) for those vessels interested to lay Fishing Aggregation Devices (FADs). This data was included as part of the dataset used for one of the co-financed EU LIFE+ Funding Programmes - LIFE BaĦAR for N2K project.

Location of Hardstone and Softstone Licenced quarries in the Maltese islands

The area covered by the sewage treatment plants per GPS coordinates. Agglomerations data is included as attributes to this layer.

In December 2015, DFA gathered first hand data from diving schools in Malta and Gozo on the location of submerged and partially submerged marine caves along the coastline of the Maltese Islands, as part of the LIFE+ Benthic Habitat Research for Marine Natura 2000 Site Designation (LIFE BaĦAR for N2K) purpose of the project. This data was funded by of one of the co-financed EU LIFE+ Funding Programmes - LIFE BaĦAR for N2K project.
