In 2016, Malta made a paradigm shift in its legislation by adopting the "public domain" doctrine in order to safeguard some coastal sites. The details are inserted by amendment as a 4th schedule of the civil code, cap. 16.

In addition, the same amendment defines the "coastal perimeter", as well as other landmarks of the coastal zone (art. 311 CC).

I found these changes ground-breaking for the Malta's legal order, but I did not find any literature about them.

Do you have any views or references?
