Coastal garigue is an important natural habitat in the Maltese Islands. Several flora and fauna are found in this habitat including the national plant of Malta – Maltese Rock-centaury (Widnet il-Baħar), the Maltese Spider Orchid and the Maltese shrew. Endemic species are only found in Malta, thus form part of the world natural heritage. These species need to be protected especially from illegal dumping.
