Over the past few weeks ERA and Ambjent Malta have completed maintenance works at Ir-Ramla tat-Torri (White Tower Bay, Mellieħa) and Ir-Ramla l-Ħamra (Ramla Bay, Gozo) to improve the protection of the sensitive areas found on site.
Cordoning of the sensitive sand dunes on the sites has been upgraded thus increasing protection from trampling which may cause damage to the important habitats. New signage has also been installed to further ensure a reduction in trampling.
In addition to the maintenance works, a clean-up was conducted by ERA volunteers at White Tower Bay. The clean up saw the removal of microplastics from the beach and shoreline through hand held sand sieves, removal of invasive alien species, removal of litter from the bay and the surrounding area and finally the removal of a dilapidated structure from a natura 2000 area.
