WFD Coastal Water Bodies
WFD coastal water bodies used for the purposes of the MSFD Reporting
This dataset provides the boundaries of coastal water bodies in Malta as defined under the Water Framework Directive (WFD), delivered as a WMS service. The data is published by the Planning Authority and is used to support reporting obligations under the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). It identifies discrete coastal water body units around the Maltese coastline, forming a spatial reference layer for marine and coastal water quality assessment and environmental status reporting at national level.
