      Malta, through its Environment and Planning Agency, the University of Malta, the Malta Resources Authority, the National Statistics Office and the Environmental Health Directorate is currently implementing a €4.6 million project which involves monitoring of five environmental themes - air, water, soil, radiation and noise. These studies are being carried out in conjunction with the implementation of 3D terrestrial and bathymetric surveys. This project is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund, which provides 85% of the project’s funding and the Government of Malta, which finances the rest under Operational Programme 1 - Cohesion Policy 2007-2013 - Investing in Competitiveness for a Better Quality of Life. In 2013, Malta initiated its second phase of GI-employment for spatial data enhancement in the physical, social and natural environments. Such was made possible through the acquisition of a comprehensive set of data that will serve as a basis for cross-thematic research. This is being made possible through the creation of fundamental datasets that will bring Maltese terrestrial and bathymetric baseline free information to the public domain. Besides enabling Malta to achieve compliance with most EU environmental monitoring requirements, such an integrated and coherent approach for environmental data monitoring will provide improved tools and knowledge for effective environmental protection action and environmental policies. Since the state of the environment is intrinsically linked to the effect on human security and health, such environmental monitoring will be crucial to understanding the causalities and the effect of human activities on environmental security and health. This process entailed the amalgamation of the spatial and environmental practices together with the impacts on security and health realities and result in better understanding of green criminology and development’s impact of human health. ; peer-reviewed
