The basis for the reporting of administrative and identification data captured within the Registry, originates in two fundamental legal instruments, namely the Industrial Emissions Directive and the E-PRTR Regulation. The Registry provides spatial information on regulated industrial sites in Malta and is the reference dataset for thematic reporting on entities identified in it.

In Malta the spatial pattern of soil types is very intricate, both semi-natural and agricultural areas and different soil types often occur within a single field or within a distance of few meters. In the national soil inventory of the Maltese Islands (MALSIS) established in 2014, soils were described according to the criteria of the World Reference Base for Soil Resources. Seven major soil reference groups were identified: Leptosols, Vertisols, Calcisols, Luvisols, Cambisols, Regosols and Arenosols. Soils were also classified into Soil Landscape Units, which consist of soil containing a range of soil types which are likely to have similar management characteristics. The soil landscapes are divided into semi-natural landscapes with a low human impact and man-made landscapes where human influence is demonstrated by the extensive terracing of slopes, creation of ‘made ground’ or intensive cultivation. Key to abbreviations of the soil landscape types: BCs – Blue Clay slopes; BCTm – Blue Clay moderate terraces; BCTs – Blue Clay steep terraces; BCsp – Blue Clay spring; BS – Blown sand; BST – Blown sand terraces; Clf – Cliffs; CTm – Coralline moderate terraces; CTs – Coralline steep terraces; CTv - Coralline shallow terraces; Ga – Garrigue; GTm – Globigerina moderate terraces; GTs - Globigerina steep terraces; GTv - Globigerina shallow terraces; M – Marsh; U – Urban; VF – Valley fill; W – Woodland.

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 location of a Strategic Open Gap which should be kept free from further urban development.

This dataset consists of the Maltese Islands coastal boundary, which represents the terrestrial limit of the coverage of the Strategic Plan for the Environment and Development (SPED).

This dataset represents the extent of the Malta River Basin District.

The Trees and Woodland Protection Regulations (S.L. 549.123), aims at protecting the trees and woodlands of the Maltese Islands, particularly native species and communities. For this reason ERA has so far designated a total of 60 TPA in order to protect trees for future generations. Trees within a TPA are protected from activities and operations that may have an adverse impact on them, such as development.

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 coastal zone into urban coast and rural coast.

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 urban areas into Principal Urban Area, Regional Urban Settlements and Small Urban Settlements.
