• If the dredged area is likely to refill over time with material transported from surrounding areas, does this mean that repeated dredging will be required in the future?
• If so, what are the long-term environmental implications of ongoing maintenance dredging for Marsaskala Bay?
• How often is such intervention expected, and has the cumulative ecological impact of repeated dredging been properly assessed?
• Could this create a cycle of continuous disturbance to marine habitats, water quality, and public enjoyment of the bay?
