The high ground area at the shoreward end of Delimara Point above il-Hofra z-Zghira in Marsaxlokk has turned into a waste dumping zone. This site has a nice belvedere of Delimara Port and is famous for the polygonal British Fort of Tas-Silg built between 1879 and 1883. Being quite remote, this site is ending up being filled with heavy dump waste including plastic paint containers, paper, broken glass, metal and even remains of construction material. On contacting Marsaxlokk Local Council we were told that heavy dump waste in this area is frequently reported and cleanup actions are continuously taken. Meanwhile, people keep on throwing heavy dump waste especially during sunset when there is no one to report. Then when the wind blows heavily most of this dump waste ends up in the sea port contaminating both water and underwater fish and vegetation. Security cameras are needed to monitor the area.
