dc.description.abstract | The Study focuses on the updating and change analysis research of the national maritime bathymetric monitoring capacity. It will result in the procurement of a new LiDAR aerial based bathymetric scan, information management systems, environmental baseline surveys, training of staff, and the enhancement of the national monitoring programmes in this theme. The Study directly addresses Malta’s national priorities in the maritime field. The requirement to monitor various aspects of the environment cuts across all areas of national maritime legislation which transposes the EU environmental Acquis. In particular, the Study focuses on implementing monitoring requirements with respect to changes affected by and to the immediate maritime structures. In the long term, the gathered information that will result from this Study will contribute to all Government policies, including policies in the fields of tourism, industry, fisheries, health, civil protection and spatial planning. The overall objective of the Study is to update and develop the national maritime bathymetric monitoring infrastructure and capacity for Malta, with the focus on scanning the bathymetric zones up to the reachability of Bathymetric LiDAR that in 2012 was acquired at 50m depth thus, enhanced depth capture through updated technology would be expected. The purpose of the Study is two-fold: i) To deliver fully operational maritime monitoring programmes in the themes of spatial data capture, information enhancement and change analysis; and ii) To provide a long-term strategic platform for maritime scanning monitoring, comprising strategic direction, technological and human resource base to ensure adherence to the highest standards and best practise in environmental monitoring and reporting. | en_GB |
