Let’s Nature – Kemmuna Visit

Whenever one mentions Comino and its islets (Kemmunett, Il-Ħaġriet ta’ Bejn il-Kmiemem and L-Iskoll ta’ Taħt il-Mazz), the first thing that inevitably comes to mind is the Blue Lagoon, marked by its distinct aquamarine sea. Yet, Comino’s presence goes beyond the immediate definition of sea-enjoyment and extends to its ‘role’ as part of a sustainable context that involves managing pressures on its ecosystem, both on land and at sea. This tour is an invitation to gain a first-hand experience of the conflicting challenges the area is facing (e.g. visitor capacity, unregulated camping and soil erosion), whilst recognising its biodiversity and ecological value improved by several conservation approaches. After a 30-minute boat trip around the area (pick up from Santa Maria Bay and drop off at Blue Lagoon), you will have the possibility to visit key spots on land, besides meeting the principal custodian and nature keeper of the island, Salvu Vella who is also one of Comino’s three remaining residents. The tour will take place on Saturday 22nd September, morning to afternoon and will take around 5 hours.
