Workers from the Projects and Development Department within the Gozo Ministry have embarked on the removal of stones and large pebbles from Ramla Bay in Gozo.

The Gozo Ministry said in a statement the operation could start after the necessary approval was given by the GAIA Foundation, which manages the beach and the Malta Environment and Planning Authority.

The bay fills with stones and large pebbles because of the strong currents in winter. More stones were noted this year covering the red sand for which the bay is famous.

The work was supervised by officials from GAIA and Mepa. They recommended that the stones are buried in the sand.
