Indicative areas used for anchoring and mooring of vessels around the Maltese islands. The data was used in the assessment of MSFD descriptor D6C2 (physical disturbance to the seabed)

Boundaries of offshore bunkering areas and relocated waiting area for vessels. Activities within these zones are regulated through various legislation: Authority for Transport in Malta Act (Chapter 499 of the Laws of Malta) Ports and Shipping Act (Chapter 352 of the Laws of Malta), Dangerous Cargo Ships, Marine Terminals and Facilities and Bunkering Regulations (S. L. 499.12), Vessel Traffic Monitoring and Reporting Requirements Regulations (S. L. 499.34) Berthage and Anchorage Dues Regulations (S. L. 499.38), Berthing Regulations (S. L. 10.30), and Official Nautical Charts.

The location of offshore exploratory oil wells, as provided by the Continental Shelf Department for Marine Strategy Framework Directive (2008/56/EC) reporting purposes.

The dataset indicates the location of the designated spoil ground, where disposal of dredged material and inert uncontaminated geological material at sea takes place. Malta has one ‘offshore’ spoil ground located in the North Eastern part of Maltese waters.

The dataset includes the location of desalination plants across the Maltese Islands. There are three main desalination plants: Cirkewwa Reverse Osmosis plant, Pembroke Reverse Osmosis plant and Lapsi Reverse Osmosis plant.

This dataset includes the concentration of contaminants in sediment and Posidonia in marine waters as monitored under the EMFF 8.3.1 Project. The monitoring was undertaken in line with Malta's monitoring factsheets for the MSFD Directive.

The NatDA formerly known as the Common Database on Designated Areas (CDDA) is more commonly known as Nationally designated areas, and is one of the agreed Eionet priority data flows maintained by EEA with support from the European Topic Centre on Biological Diversity. It is a result of an annual data flow through Eionet countries. In fact, Malta, being a member of the EEA, submits this report on an annual basis to fulfill this requirement. The EEA publishes the data set and makes it available to the World Database of Protected Areas (WDPA). The NatDA data can also be queried online in the European Nature Information System (EUNIS).

The submission of sites to the EC entails the preparation of a datasheet and a map for each site, that is for each proposed SCI and for each SPA, unless a proposed SCI has the exact boundary as an SPA; in the latter case only one datasheet is prepared comprising all relevant information. Reference can be made to the Natura 2000 viewer - including datasheets (link: http://natura2000.eea.europa.eu/) and to the Natura 2000 database (link: http://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/data/natura-2000/) to obtain information on each Natura 2000 site for almost all of the EU Member States. Information for the sites nominated by Malta are also available through these same links.

Natura 2000 is a network of protected areas across the European Union, with the aim of affording protection to habitats and species of wild fauna and flora of Community interest. Conservation and management measures have to be established and implemented to ensure that the condition of the natural habitats and species for which the protected areas have been designated, is maintained and/or restored, in order to ensure their long-term survival/existence.

Malta has an obligation to contribute to the creation of the Natura 2000 network within Europe, as specified in the  EC Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC)  and the  EC Birds Directive (2009/147/EC).  In this regard, Malta designated a number sites to form part of this network with the aim to protect naturally occurring wild species and their habitats. Explore the terrestrial component of the local Natura 2000 Network in an interactive map interface – access information and maps of each of the protected sites by either scrolling the side information panels or by selecting the site of interest from the interactive map.
