| Abstract: | The article addresses the threat of extinction facing the Pen Shell (Maltese: nakkra) in Mediterranean bays surrounding Malta due to overfishing and unregulated collecting by underwater divers. It urges local authorities to introduce enforceable legal protections, bans on commercial sales, and environmental education to safeguard this endangered marine species alongside local wild flora. |
