This dataset provides point-location data on coralligenous formations around Malta, compiled by merging records extracted from several scientific papers, including studies on Coralliophilinae gastropods associated with deep-water coral habitats. It is published as a WFS (Web Feature Service) by the Planning Authority Malta, allowing access to geospatial point features via standard OGC web service requests. The dataset falls under the water theme and supports mapping and analysis of coralligenous habitat distribution in Maltese waters, drawing together previously scattered scientific observations into a single accessible geographic layer.Positions of Coralligenous point data were extracted from the below three different scientific papers and merged into one dataset: 1) Taviani, M., Dimech, M., Mifsud, C., Freiwald, A., Harasewyech, M.G. and Oliveriom, M. (2009). Coralliophilinae (Gastropoda: Muricidae) associated with deep water co…
