Rangers from the Malta Ranger Unit based in Gozo said that they have made a report with the Environment & Resources Authority that oil collection points in Mgarr marina, Gozo, ”aren’t maintained properly and leading to contamination.”

The MRU stated that this has issue has now become more serious, ”with mariners also dumping their open oil cans behind the bin. These individuals are enjoying the sea, but seemingly not very keen on taking care of it.”

”We have urged ERA to go on site and make sure that this is addressed immediately, to prevent further contamination of the sea,” the MRU said.

The Malta Ranger Unit said that to date, ”no update has been given on the matter.”
