Location of submerged and partially submerged marine caves along the coastline of the Maltese Islands

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.

Statement
The overall quality of the spatial dataset is to be considered poor as it is based on approximate cave locations. Also, the data set does not show a full picture of all the caves around the Maltese Islands as caves indicated by diving operators are to be considered as being touristic attraction.
