Dolphin sightings in Malta during summer are very common, with most of those who spot them delighting in their energetic response as they pick up the pace with the vessels.
Have you spotted any dolphins in Malta this year?

Nature Trust – FEE Malta introduced us to Em, a turtle with just three flippers who arrived at the rehabilitation centre back in June of 2021.
The juvenile loggerhead had an ingested hook stuck in the intestines and a badly entangled front flipper. Due to the cuts the flipper sustained by the entangled debris, infections took over, leading to unfortunate necessity of the flipper having to be amputated.
‘After months of medication, treatment, therapy and training by rehab volunteers, Em is now ready to go’, wrote the NGO.
‘As we try to Satellite track every amputated turtle in order to monitor its progress during the first months, Em now needs your help so we may collect the € 5000 required to purchase a tracker.’
‘Donations any CRS support are always welcome and can be sent by bank transfer or Revolut transfer on our Wildlife IBAN MT18 VALL 2201 3000 0000 4002 353 8289 , Swift code VALLMTMT.’

Arnold Sciberras, the Exterminator, showed one of the issues the outdoor catering industry is currently facing as Hymenoptera feed on sugars in soft drink machines.
Hymenoptera is a large taxonomical order which comprises sawflies, wasps, bees and ants. The video shows all manner of wasp and bee invading soft drink machines to feed on sugars.
‘It’s basically impossible to function this way’, wrote the exterminator. Those who are facing such issues are encouraged to contact professionals to be able to deal with such a situation and keep business running.

Last November, a group of youth and influencers visited Ghanaian hospitals and schools set up by local Maltese to help those combatting serious diseases in such countries.
Today, a fund-raising marathon will be broadcasted on local TV stations, so that more money can be raised to help and give hope to those who need it most.
Among those who made the journey were MaltaDaily’s very own Keane Cutajar and Amy Borg, accompanied by Daniel Umanah, Megan May Caruana, Kevin Paul Calleja and Victor Abela.
