Feeding marine organisms?

As I was walking in a street near the sea in Birgu I noticed something in the sea that just was not right. It was not the sea itself but what was in it. Floating on the surface there were all sorts of used objects that included plastic and glass bottles and other materials. Unfortunately people sometimes do not realize that this will have many consequences. It is not only because people will be swimming in polluted areas but also because such garbage items might at times be considered as food by various marine organisms and will thus effect the marine food chain. Plastic items for example are easily mistaken as food by certain fish and turtles! Maybe certain areas around the coast should contain specific signs which would make people more aware of their actions!

This picture shows us the beauty of our natural surroundings. this picture shows a long stretch of sand, lots of trees and the sheltering slopes in the background. This quaint, sheltered beach is a clear example of nature at its Best. Such beaches could have easily been nesting grounds for turtles which once were so common on our shores. Maybe we should really think of preserving some parts of such beaches, so as to enable turtles to reach our shores once again! We must understand that the world is not ours but it is simply lent to us to share with everyone!

Everyday, whilst I take my dog for its stroll, I pass by the Sir David Bruce Military Hospital and its Annex, the Isolation Block at Mtarfa. This hospital once served as one of the main Hospitals for the British Royal Navy for the Mediterranean region. Currently part of this magnificent building serves as a Boys' State School. The Isolation Block, built in 1924, and situated right above Chadwick Lakes,is unfortunately in a poor state of neglect. The building has no protection against nature's elements, it has never been restored, whilst some time ago it was also set on fire,suffering considerable damage. It remained unrepaired. Currently it is home to numerous stray animals. Wild trees and bushes continue adding to the general disastrous condition, along with all sorts of rubbish. It is worth noting that MEPA scheduled the Isolation Hospital as a Grade 2 national monument in July 12, 2008.

Ever heard of Fungus Rock (B),also known as Il-Ġebla tal-Ġeneral, off Dwejra Point in Gozo? It is renowned for a fungus, Fungus Gaulitanus, which grows on the rock. It has medicinal qualities that were also valued by the Knights of St. John. The Knights guarded the island and anyone trying to steal the fungus was given the death penalty. Looking at the photo it is seen that the island has a cliff edge that is quite high. For this reason, the Knights devised a man-carrying hoist system between the island and the land. It was therefore possible to collect the fungus. This area is well known with divers.So, as you splash into the clear water, to Coral Cave nearby, don’t wake up the crocodile (A)!

Malta is one of the most densely populated islands in the world. An example is the above picture in Siggiewi where fields were transformed into stretches of white buildings. We all need a home to live in but Malta is so densely populated that we nearly flushed away all the greenery on our little island. Homes, work places and so on are being built every second for our use but if we continue destroying all the trees that give us oxygen there will be no world for us to enjoy. How boring it would be if there is no greenery to enjoy during our time-off!
