APIExecutable4/7Query nowOpen workbench Subscribe🇲🇹Malta

This WFS API provides geospatial data on the extent of Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows around Malta. It is published by the Planning Authority of Malta and delivered via the HALE Connect infrastructure, offering machine-readable access to mapped seagrass distribution for use in marine environmental monitoring, spatial planning, and habitat assessment within Maltese territorial waters. The dataset forms part of national environmental and coastal management data made available for interoperable GIS use.HB.D1_6_Posidonia_extent
