Nadia, one of the turtles, was saved on August 4th, 2023, when she was discovered floating on the surface with a hook in her mouth. Maria, the other rescued turtle, was saved on August 20th, 2023, after consuming large amounts of plastic and showing several old scars from prior traumas. The Environment and Re- sources Authority (ERA), which funds the rehabilitation of wounded animals, provides financial assistance for the Rehab Centre Project, which is run by Nature Trust Malta (NTM) - FEE. ERA collabo- rates closely with the eNGO on a number of additional en- vironmental projects. "Plastic pollution is on the increase and is badly affecting us and marine life. Disposing of Waste in the appropriate bins even on land is of utmost importance and crucial to re- duce plastic waste at sea," NTM President Vince Attard said. According to ERA CEO Kevin Mercieca, the Author- ity is creating policies to re- duce as much plastic waste as possible through updated legislation, including a ban on the importation and sale of single-use-plastics on the local market and other initi- atives covered by the Single Use Plastic Strategy for Malta 2020-2030. "This also goes hand in hand with other waste-related in- itiatives intended to reduce waste in general, such as the mandatory waste separation regulations introduced in April. All these policy initia- tives help reduce the amounts of waste plastic ending up in the sea putting the life of ma- rine biodiversity at risk," Mer- cieca stated. The fines for incorrect waste separation come into force on 15 October 2023.
