Fishing Activity Maps at 2-3 Knots for Swordfish
These datasets were manipulated and produced in aggregated maps by showing the intensity of VMS (and not the effort) by a methodology used in the Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture. Since most of the vessels are under 12 m and have no VMS, these maps represents only a fraction of the Drifting Long Lines vessels - 7% of the vessels targeting swordfish.For this datasets of vessel trips targeting swordfish, at a speed of 2-3 knots (indicative of hauling) were taken into consideration. This data was funded by of one of the co-financed EU LIFE+ Funding Programmes - LIFE BaĦAR for N2K project. -
Fishing Activity Maps at 2-3 Knots for Tuna
These datasets were manipulated and produced in aggregated maps by showing the intensity of VMS (and not the effort) by a methodology used in the Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture. Since most of the vessels are under 12 m and have no VMS, these maps represents only a fraction of the Drifting Long Lines vessels - 59.1% of the vessels targeting Tuna.For this dataset of tuna 2-3 knots for hauling and speed were taken into consideration. This data was funded by of one of the co-financed EU LIFE+ Funding Programmes - LIFE BaĦAR for N2K project. -
Fishing Activity Maps at 4-5 Knots for Dolphinfish (Lampuki)
These datasets were manipulated and produced in aggregated maps by showing the intensity of VMS (and not the effort) by a methodology used in the Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture. Since most of the vessels are under 12 m and have no VMS, these maps represents only a fraction of the vessels - 24% of the vessels targeting dolphinfish (lampuki). For this datasets of vessel trips targeting dolphinfish, at a speed of 4-5knots (indicative of hauling) was taken into consideration. This data was funded by of one of the co-financed EU LIFE+ Funding Programmes - LIFE BaĦAR for N2K project. -

Geographical Sub-area in which the Maltese Islands are found
The Geographical Sub-Areas (GSAs) were established under the RES-GFCM/33/2009/2 - Establishment of Geographical Sub-Areas in the GFCM area amending the resolution GFCM/31/2007/2. The dataset only shows the GSA15 which is the GSA in which the Maltese Islands are found. For all the GSAs, one must refer to the legislation mentioned above or the following website: http://www.fao.org/gfcm/data/map-geographical-subareas/en/ -

Land Use Attribute (LUA) map 2021 - Malta
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. -
Landscape protection regions
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. -
