NtM No5 of 2008 - Conservation area around wrecks
A WFS API published via the HALE connect platform by the Planning Authority Malta, providing geospatial boundaries of conservation areas established around shipwrecks by the Veterinary Regulation and Fisheries Conservation and Control division within the VAFD. These zones are designated as "no stopping areas", where anchoring is restricted to diving vessels that have pre-notified Valletta VTS. The dataset supports maritime navigation, diving operations, and marine environmental protection around wreck sites in Maltese national waters.The Veterinary Regulation and Fisheries Conservation and Control within the VAFD has set a number of conservation areas around wrecks. These are considered as "NO STOPPING AREAS". Anchoring is allowed to divers' vessels only after pre-notification to the Valletta VTS. Masters of diving support vess…
