Over 40 turtles successfully hatched from the fourth nest of 2024 on their very first night!
The nest, initially discovered on July 16th at Għajn Tuffieħa, had to be relocated due to its proximity to the shore, where it was at risk of being washed away.
This relocation proved successful, as over 40 turtles have now safely made their way to the sea from the nest.

Msida’s new primary school is Malta’s first carbon-neutral public school, setting a new standard for sustainable educational facilities.
The school includes around 40 classrooms, a childcare center, a public library, and a hall that accommodates 300 people. These amenities are designed for both educational purposes and community use after school hours, creating a multifunctional space.
The project also features a new complex for the Msida Sea Scouts and a two-level underground car park with space for around 180 cars. Environmentally friendly measures include wall and roof insulation for temperature control and a rainwater recycling system for irrigation and sanitary use.
Minister for Education, Sport, Youth, Research, and Innovation, Clifton Grima, praised the project as a testament to the Ministry’s and the Foundation for Tomorrow’s Schools’ commitment to modern, sustainable infrastructure.
He emphasised that the school offers an environment tailored to the educational needs of today and the future, providing a space where students enjoy learning, and educators enjoy teaching.
Partially funded by the European Union’s Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP), this €24 million project demonstrates Malta’s dedication to green development while fostering an excellent environment for education and community engagement.
