A pair of common cuttlefish were spotted recently in shallow waters at St Julian’s.
The species, known as ‘siċċ’ in Maltese, are marine molluscs and posses a unique internal shell which they used for control of buoyancy.
‘Such a species normally lays its eggs between the months of March and June’, explained Alan Deidun.

A video shared to TikTok shows Australia’s Gold Coast Beach’s before and after Cyclone Alfred, making the rounds and going viral.
The beach was completely eroded, with the popular beach being left with a massive sand wall on what once was known as Surfer’s Paradise.
@explorewithmahdi Our beach is gone… 💔 Follow me for more AUS content!🇦🇺 📍Surfers paradise, Gold Coast 🇦🇺#goldcoast #australia #queensland #brisbane #sunset #australiatiktok #aussie #aussietok #australian #fyp #australiatravel #tiktokaustralia #australia🇦🇺 #viral #aussietiktok #aus #visitaustralia #visitqld #surfersparadise #sydney #melbourne #perth #traveltiktok #travellife #traveltok #backpacking #solotravel #beach #beachsunset #movingtoaustralia #cyclone
The cyclone had prompted local authorities to issue health and safety warnings, with Alfred being the sixth severe tropical cyclone within 2024/25.
The erosion cliffs, known as ‘scarps’, climbed to a height of 3 metres, exposing the last line of coastal defence – ‘a buried seawall known as the A-line, constructed after large storms in the 1970s’ (as per The Guardian).
Thankfully most of the sand is expected to return naturally, but this may take months to full take place.

Maltese political leaders took to social media to welcome the 30 day ceasefire agreement proposed by the US and accepted by Ukraine.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated he would present the proposal to Russia, emphasising that the decision now lay with Moscow, which has yet to respond publicly.
European Parliament President Roberta Metsola said that this is an important step towards peace.
‘The ball is in Russia’s court’, she continued. ‘Europe will continue to do its part so that this war ends and leads to real, just and lasting peace.’
On his part, Prime Minister Robert Abela said that he is convinced that peace is achieved through diplomacy. ‘This is Malta’s position, a strong advocate for peace. We hope for a permanent ceasefire’.
Following the 🇺🇸 proposal for a 30-day ceasfire which 🇺🇦 seems in agreement with. I am convinced, have always been, that peace is achieved through diplomacy, not through the barrel of a gun. This is 🇲🇹’s position, a strong advocate for peace. We hope for a permanent ceasefire.-RA

Opposition leader Bernard Grech also welcomed the agreement. ‘It is now up to Russia to do its part and bring an end to this war, ensuring lasting piece.’
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky described the ceasefire proposal as a “positive” step and urged the US to persuade Russia to agree.
The discussions in Jeddah marked the first formal meeting between Ukraine and the US since the heated confrontation between Zelensky and US President Donald Trump in Washington on 28 February.
I welcome the agreement reached today in Saudi Arabia between the United States and Ukraine for a ceasefire and hope that this will lead to restoring peace.
It is now up to Russia to do its part and bring an end to this war, ensuring lasting peace.
