- Background
The Majjistral Nature and History Park was designated in 2007 and includes the coastal area from Golden Bay to Il-Prajjet and ix-Xagħra l-Ħamra. The Park forms part of the Natura 2000 network and is managed by three NGOs through agreements with ERA and the Ministry for the Environment. The Management Board of the Park is composed of ERA, the three NGOs, the Mellieħa Local Council, representatives of the public sector and an independent chairperson.
These amendments are mostly administrative, mentioning NGOs holding agreements for the management of the Park; clarifying the role of the Environment & Resources Authority as the competent authority; and further alignment with the management plans for Natura 2000 sites in line with the Flora, Fauna and Natural Habitats Protection Regulations (S.L. 549.44).
- Consultation
In line with article 55 of the Environment Protection Act (Cap. 549) the public is invited to make submissions to ERA with their comments as to why and how these regulations could be amended.
