Following the reports in media regarding the release of construction material into the sea at Balluta Bay from a construction site, ERA immediately stopped all activities on site until the developer installs adequate preventive measures. These measures started being installed during the night under the supervision of ERA officers, whereby further works will be implemented throughout the day.

ERA will keep on monitoring the works until it is ascertained that all precautionary measures are undertaken. ERA will also be taking action against the developer for breaching environmental law.
