Position of the Aquaculture boundary farms were taken from Notices to Mariners and from observations carried out by the Department (GPS positions).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.

Positions of Coralligenous point data were extracted from the below three different scientific papers and merged into one dataset: 1) Taviani, M., Dimech, M., Mifsud, C., Freiwald, A., Harasewyech, M.G. and Oliveriom, M. (2009). Coralliophilinae (Gastropoda: Muricidae) associated with deep water coral banks in the Mediterranean.

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

This data set shows the location of sampling points for the levels of radionuclides in ambient air. A high volume sampler (HVS) is situated in Bengħajsa and is used to monitor radionuclide levels in total air particulates. Gamma dose rate in monitored continuously in Bengħajsa, Attard, Xemxija and Għarb. Such monitoring is carried out according to the requirements arising from Commission Recommendation 2000/473/Euratom.

Soil samples are collected once a year from four points along Malta and Gozo. Samples are sent to an accredited Laboratory for radionuclide analysis. Such monitoring is carried out according to the requirements arising from Commission Recommendation 2000/473/Euratom.

Water samples are collected from three points along Malta and Gozo on a quarterly basis. Samples are sent to an accredited Laboratory for radionuclide analysis. Such monitoring is carried out according to the requirements arising from Commission Recommendation 2000/473/Euratom.

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.

The ratio between the sums of the highest and lowest 20 per cent equivalised incomes of persons within the households.

The data on expenditure under the various social protection schemes are drawn up according to the ESSPROS (European System of integrated Social Protection Statistics) Manual issued by Eurostat. Generally, the objectives of ESSPROS are to provide a comprehensive, realistic and coherent description of social protection which: (i) covers social benefits and their financing; (ii) is geared towards international comparability; and (iii) is completely harmonised with other statistics, particularly the National Accounts, in its main concepts. The Social Exclusion N.E.C. function consists of the following benefits: Drug Addicts Allowance and supplementary Assistance. Spatial ESSPROS data is represented per 1000 population. The data source used to compile the beneficiaries data is the System for the Administration of Social Benefits (SABS) database held by the Department of Social Security. Beneficiaries are grouped according to their ID card number. If a person received a particular benefit more than once in a calendar year, the records show one beneficiary. Beneficiaries obtaining more than one benefit under the same function are counted once. Beneficiaries living abroad are not included in the data.

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.
