Last summer, Sharklab-Malta carried out a set of research dives at the Marine Protected Area of Filfla with the aim of researching the population of rays and other species in the zone, building up on past research.
With the assistance of volunteer local divers, they scoured the sea around Filfla to take stock of the different species’ population, recording both numbers as well as their distribution in the waters around the island of Filfla, which was used as a target for military exercises up until the early 1970s.
On the back of these results, Sharklab-Malta published the below booklet and poster, to provide insight into the results, but also provide information on their work, the importance of sharks and rays in the ecosystem, and for the younger ones, some fun and games 🙂
