The “slime” observed off the Marsascala coast has been identified as foam by the fish farm industry and the Environment and Resources Authority (ERA). According to reports, the foam appeared along the coast in Marsascala, Sliema, and other areas, sparking concerns about a potential recurrence of issues that plagued beaches two years ago. The fish farm industry and ERA have attributed the foam to fish feed, which seems to be the primary cause of the sea slime problem in Malta.
It’s worth noting that similar incidents have occurred in the past, and authorities have been working to address the issue. While the exact measures being taken to mitigate the problem aren’t clear, the identification of the foam’s cause is a crucial step towards finding a solution. If you have any further questions or concerns about this issue, I’d be happy to try and help.
