This API provides a Web Map Service (WMS) exposing geospatial data on the location of transitional waters, i.e. wetland areas, across the Maltese Islands. It is published by Malta's Planning Authority and is freely accessible without authentication. The service covers the national territory and can be used to visualise or integrate wetland location data into GIS applications, supporting land-use planning and water resource management activities related to housing and land development.Location of transitional waters in the Maltese islands
