| Abstract: | The Maltese Islands support a number of pocket beaches of varying size, the largest reaching a maximum length of some 1 km or so. There are a total of nine beaches on the Maltese Islands supporting sand dunes or remnant thereof. Five sandy beaches, four of which occur in mainland Malta and one in the island of Gozo, used as a control site, are investigated within the framework of the MECO Project (Fig. 2.4.1). These are: – Ghadira; – Ir Ramla tat-Torri (also known as WhiteTower Bay); – Armier; – Ramla tal-Mixquqa (also known as Golden Bay); and – Ramla l-Hamra (also known as Ramla Bay) on Gozo. |
