This API provides access to Natura 2000 data for Malta, covering Sites of Community Importance (SCIs) and Special Protected Areas (SPAs), harmonised according to the INSPIRE Protected Sites data theme. It is published as a WMS service by the Planning Authority Malta. Submission of sites to the European Commission requires a datasheet and a map for each proposed SCI and each SPA, unless a proposed SCI shares the exact boundary as an SPA, in which case a single combined map is prepared. The service supports mapping and spatial analysis of protected nature conservation sites at national level.Natura 2000 - SCIs & SPAs data harmonised according INSPIRE Protected Sites data theme.
