dc.description.abstract | Marsa lies at the head of the Grand Harbour of Malta nestled between the sea and the town of Hamrun. The vast floodplain lying behind the inner reaches of the harbour is referred to by locals as il-Marsa tal-Ingliżi and covers the area which is currently occupied by the Marsa Sports Club.1 This same floodplain is the largest catchment area of freshwater in the Maltese islands. Large valley systems drain into the floodplain and subsequently into the sea at Marsa. Tonnes of sediment are transported across the plain annually making it the fertile area it is. | en_GB |
