ADPD – the Green Party yesterday expressed its concern about the government’s slow progress on the diving strategy announced in 2022

Speaking during a press conference at the diving area of Zonqor Point in Marsascala, ADPD spokesperson Brian Decelis said important objectives of the strategy have not been met and “action must be taken before it is too late.”

Of greatest concern, he said, was the lack of an entity with legal powers responsible for diving areas which could work hand in hand with all stakeholders including professional associations and NGOs.
