Area Designated For Hydrocarbon Exploration and Exploitation

The boundary used for the definition of seabed/subsoil is based on the area currently designated for hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation without prejudice to Malta's continental shelf boundary. This incorporates the seabed/subsoil beneath the WFD Coastal Waters. The original data was provided by CSD in WGS 84 and subsequently transformed by ERA into ETRS89TM33. ERA has processed the data for reporting obligations emanating under the Marine Strategy Framework Directive.
