ERA - Environment & Resources Authority

05/06/2026

L-Awtorità għall-Ambjent u r-Riżorsi (ERA) reġgħet ġiet iċċertifikata bl-NCPE Equality Mark, wara li kisbet l-ewwel ċertifikazzjoni tagħha fl-2023, kisba li kienet possibbli permezz ta’ diversi kollaborazzjonijiet kontinwi. Dan it-tiġdid ifisser li l-ERA tibqa’ rikonoxxuta b’mod kontinwu għall-impenn tagħha lejn l-ugwaljanza u l-inklussività fuq il-post tax-xogħol.

Din il-kisba tikkonferma l-impenn kontinwu tal-Awtorità biex toħloq ambjent tax-xogħol ġust u inklussiv, li joffri opportunitajiet indaqs, rispett u tkabbir professjonali għal kull impjegat, kif ukoll biex tkompli ssaħħaħ kultura organizzattiva sostenibbli u mibnija fuq l-ugwaljanza.

This achievement reaffirms the Authority’s ongoing commitment to fostering a fair and inclusive working environment that offers equal opportunities, respect, and professional growth for all employees, while further strengthening an organisational culture built on equality and sustainability.

Ilbieraħ, uffiċjali tal-ERA rrispondew għal rapport dwar fekruna li nstabet f’San Ġiljan. Sfortunatament, il-fekruna nstabet mejta. Minn osservazzjonijiet preliminari jidher li setgħet intlaqtet minn dgħajsa, iżda l-kawża eżatta tal-mewt tiġi kkonfermata wara li jsir necropsy.

Peress li dalwaqt jibda l-perjodu tat-tbejjit tal-fkieren, nappellaw lill-pubbliku biex jibqa’ viġilanti u jkun kawtel meta jkun fuq il-baħar. Jekk xi ħadd jara fekruna midruba jew f’diffikultà, dan għandu jiġi rrapportat immedjatament fuq:

Yesterday, ERA officers responded to a report of a turtle found in St Julian’s. Unfortunately, the turtle was found deceased. Preliminary observations indicate it may have been struck by a boat, however, the exact cause of death will be confirmed following a necropsy.

As we now expect turtles to start nesting, we urge the public to remain vigilant and exercise caution while out at sea. Should the public spot an injured turtle or in distress sightings should immediately be reported by calling:
