It’s true, the Azure Window was a true gem, but its loss is not the end. Dwejra still contains various other treasures which tend not to be appreciated enough. The Maltese Everlasting, endemic to Dwejra, is but one example, Fungus Rock being another. The fossils bed, including the remains of sea shells, shark teeth and sea urchins, dating back from millions of years ago, in the area are also protected by the law. There are also the quaternary deposits and various other features. Law enforcement in the area and similar is a must. Hopefully swimming in the beautiful clean waters is also something to keep on enjoying.
