Ċirkewwa Marine Park Management Plan launched
The Environment and Resources Authority and government ministries launched the Ċirkewwa Marine Park Management Plan, moving the site from legal designation to active protection and management.
By Malta News AI Desk / 06/08/2026
The Plan was launched at an event organised by the Environment and Resources Authority (ERA) together with the Ministry for Energy, the Environment and the Regeneration of the Grand Harbour, the Ministry for Tourism, the Ċirkewwa Management Council, the Malta Tourism Authority, Transport Malta and Nature Trust Malta. Officials travelled by vessel along Malta’s northern coast, passing the St Paul’s Islands to Ċirkewwa.
The Plan identifies habitats and pressures and sets practical measures — including zoning, mooring arrangements, codes of conduct, monitoring, coordinated enforcement, diver safety, education and digital awareness tools — and seeks to protect Posidonia seagrass meadows while balancing conservation with recreation and sustainable tourism, the Plan says. Minister Miriam Dalli, Minister for Tourism Jo Etienne Abela and ERA CEO Kevin Mercieca welcomed the launch.
