This API provides a WMS map service delivering spatial data on Natura 2000 biotopes in Malta, covering Sites of Community Importance (SCIs) and Special Protection Areas (SPAs) designated under EU nature conservation legislation. It is published by the Planning Authority Malta and relates to the national submission process to the European Commission, whereby each proposed SCI and SPA is accompanied by a datasheet and map, with a single combined dataset used where boundaries coincide. The service supports access to boundary and habitat information for environmental planning and education purposes.The submission of sites to the EC entails the preparation of a datasheet and a map for each site, that is for each proposed SCI and for each SPA, unless a proposed SCI has the exact boundary as an SPA; in the latter case only one datasheet is prepared comprising all relevant information.
