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 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.

Granulometry data were collected by box-corer during the Mediterranean Trawl Survey (MEDITS) between the years 2004-2008 (excluding 2006). This dataset were gathered from various stations (80 in total), and were classified as follows: coarse silt, medium silt and very coarse silt; and fine sand, medium sand and very fine sand.These data were gathered on DFA’s own initiative in order to gather baseline data about the substratum, which influences the distribution of the fishing resources within GSA 15. While maerl data was obtained from photos of the MEDITS stations sampled between 2005 and 2011 as well as Van veen Grab samples collected during the Mediterranean Trawl Survey (MEDITS) between the years 2004-2008 (excluding 2006). These data were gathered on DFA's own initiative in order to gather baseline data about the substratum, which influences the distribution of the fishing resources within the GSA 15.These data was included as part of the dataset used for one of the co-financed EU LIFE+ Funding Programmes - LIFE BaĦAR for N2K project.

This layer shows the major roads defined for Malta according to the requirements of Directive 2002/49/EC relating to the assessment and management of environmental noise. These are the roads for which strategic noise maps are produced.

The local administrative units, abbreviated as LAUs, form a system for dividing up the economic territory of the European Union (EU) for the purpose of statistics at local level. They have been set up by Eurostat and they are compatible with NUTS. The LAU classification is equivalent to the classification of all Maltese localities into six districts by Malta Geographic Codes (MGC).At local level, two levels of LAU have been defined: The upper level (LAU1, formerly NUTS level 4)The lower level (LAU2, formerly NUTS level 5)

The Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS) was established by Eurostat to provide a single uniform breakdown of territorial units for the production of regional statistics for the European Union.

This dataset series contains geographical grids of 1km grid cell size for Malta.The main attributes are a Grid ID coding the East and North coordinate of the lower left corner of each grid cell plus the hierarchy level plus the quad-tree level. And the INSPIREID of the lower grid cell corner. The grid has been created following the requirements of COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1089/2010 of 23 November 2010 implementing Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards interoperability of spatial data sets and services and the INSPIRE Specification on Geographical Grid Systems - Guidelines. The grid can be used to represent all kinds of statistical and scientific values. The main application is the representation of demographic data (population). This 1km grid was provided by the Eurostat European Commission

According to the requirements of Directives 2008/50/EC and 2004/107/EC with respect to the minimum number of sampling points and the assessment regimes, the data set consists of two zones in the Maltese territory, the Air Monitoring Agglomeration and the Air Quality Monitoring Zone in which all main pollutants are being monitored. A third zone covering the monitoring of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) is also included in the data set.
