The proposed project of an underwater tunnel between mainlnd malta and the sister island of Gozo will leave a negative environmental impact on the sea and land. The digging and dredging needed for the project will disturb habitats and destroy ecosystems in the area. Gozo offers unique characteristics that are diverse from Mlata. The villages spread out along the island are of cultural interest in their own quaint way. Will this be jeopardized if the tunnel link materialises and Gozo will be turned into a smaller version of hectic mainland Malta? Give citizens a voice and see what the majority says!
