Dancing prohibited in weddings as Paceville welcomes massive crowds

Aug 23 2021

Founder and Director at YADA Dance Company Felix Busuttil posted a concerning Facebook post in which he revealed the irony surrounding events in Malta during the pandemic. Busuttil commented how he was invited to a wedding wherein dance was prohibited due to COVID-19 mitigation measures.

He contrasts this with the fact that massive crowds not adhering to social distancing and masking are taking to the streets of St Julians’ and Paceville. This is also allegedly happening in bars in Malta’s Entertainment Mecca.

The short but powerful post, which garnered much attention and support to Busuttil’s observations, sheds light on the whole situation concerning events in Malta. It is also a call to people to keep in mind that the pandemic is far from over and that everyone should be pulling the same rope responsibly.

Pod of dolphins spotted swimming on the way back from Hoffriet

Aug 23 2021

Videos sent to this newsroom show the spectacular moment Rebekah Pellegrini and her friends spotted an entire pod of dolphins off the coast of Hoffriet. A bay in the south of Malta, the pod was spotted yesterday around 2 in the afternoon as the boat made its way back from the bay.

There seems to be several dolphins, surfacing and swimming alongside the boat Pellegrini was on. Gliding elegantly below the surface level, the marine mammals have become a much more common site in Maltese waters. Some attribute this to the lessening sea pollution and boats due to the pandemic.

Alien sea creatures invading Mediterranean due to climate change

Aug 23 2021

As climate change continues to impact the world’s weather patterns, it was revealed that there are other consequences we don’t notice when it comes to marine life. Speaking to TVM, Professor Alan Deidun revealed how alien creatures have replaced indigenous marine life as huge bouts of heat hit both Malta and the Mediterranean as a whole. Sea temperatures have sky rocketed to above 30 degrees Celsius, meaning that the Mediterranean Sea is close to becoming a tropical sea.

Many sea creatures which crossed the Suez Canal into the Mediterranean would die off in winter as sea temperatures dropped. Sea temperatures however are not dropping as drastically in winter, resulting in these species surviving and reproducing. This means native species have increased competition against creatures like blue swimmer crabs and Rainbow. Deidun even emphasised eating some of these alien species as it would bring the population under control. This should be done with caution however, due to some being poisonous.
