16 datasets misjub

These datasets (Jan, Feb, April-December 2014) were produced in aggregated maps by showing the intensity of VMS (and not the effort) by the use of VMSBase-free software and Rstudio software (2009-2014, Inc. Version 0.98.1091) through a knowledge gained at VMSBase Training course, IMC-CNR, Ancona, Italy held in October 2015. This data was included as part of the dataset used for one of the co-financed EU LIFE+ Funding Programmes - LIFE BaĦAR for N2K project.

Article 17 of the Habitats Directive requires Member States to report every six years about the progress made with the implementation of the Habitats Directive. As the main focus of the directive is on maintaining and/or restoring a favourable conservation status for habitat types & species of community interest, monitoring & reporting under the directive is focusing on that. Monitoring of conservation status is not restricted to Natura 2000 sites and data need to be collected both in and outside the Natura 2000 network to achieve a full appreciation of conservation status. Some data on sensitive species is restricted from public access, as the disclosure of such might adversely affect the conservation of the species in question; this is in line with the provisions of Article 4 2(h) of Directive 2003/4/EC.

This layer shows the day evening night noise indicator levels which represent the noise indicator for overall annoyance from aircraft noise present in the agglomeration as defined for Malta according to the requirements of Directive 2002/49/EC relating to the assessment and management of environmental noise.

This layer shows the day-evening-night noise indicator levels which represent the noise indicator for overall annoyance in major roads as defined for Malta according to the requirements of Directive 2002/49/EC relating to the assessment and management of environmental noise.

This layer shows the day-evening-night noise indicator levels which represent the noise indicator for overall annoyance in the industrial areas as defined for Malta according to the requirements of Directive 2002/49/EC relating to the assessment and management of environmental noise.

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.

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.

Every year the Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture (DFA) issues a call for applications (together with a set of conditions) for those vessels interested to lay Fishing Aggregation Devices (FADs). This data was included as part of the dataset used for one of the co-financed EU LIFE+ Funding Programmes - LIFE BaĦAR for N2K project.

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.

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. This dataset includes: Special Protection Areas (SPAs), which are areas designated under the EU Birds Directive for protecting wild bird species; and/or either Special Areas of Conservation (SACs), which are sites identified under the EU Habitats Directive for conserving rare habitats and species; or Sites of Community Importance (SCIs), which are interim sites proposed for SAC designation, highlighting their environmental importance; or Proposed Sites of Community Importance (pSCIs), which are areas suggested for SCI status, awaiting formal approval. 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.

This layer shows the night time noise indicator levels which represent the noise indicator for sleep disturbance from aircraft noise present in the agglomeration as defined for Malta according to the requirements of Directive 2002/49/EC relating to the assessment and management of environmental noise.

Stock of PV installations and estimated total kWh produced by connected PVs by district and years (2010 - 2014).

This dataset includes the UWWTD sensitive area covering the area of Qammieh Point till Ras il- Raheb, as reported under the UWWTD Article 5 and the WFD Article 6 Registry of Protected Areas. The area remains unchanged since last reporting for year 2016.
