Abstract: The potential marine ecology impacts arising from an offshore wind farm proposed for a site within coastal waters of the Maltese Islands were assessed in the summer of 2011 through a multi-tiered sampling protocol, The 11km2- surveyed marine area was dominated by different Posidonia oceanica ecomorphoses, photophilic assemblages and sandy bottoms with accumulations of rhodolith fragments.
