This WMS API provides geospatial data on the location of submerged and partially submerged marine caves along the coastline of the Maltese Islands. The data originates from first-hand information gathered from diving schools in Malta and Gozo in December 2015, as part of the LIFE+ BaĦAR for N2K project on benthic habitat research supporting Marine Natura 2000 site designation. It is published by the Planning Authority Malta and provides national-scope coverage useful for marine habitat mapping and coastal environmental studies.In December 2015, DFA gathered first hand data from diving schools in Malta and Gozo on the location of submerged and partially submerged marine caves along the coastline of the Maltese Islands, as part of the LIFE+ Benthic Habitat Research for Marine Natura 2000 Site Designation (LIFE BaĦAR for N2…
