A petition launched by Zach Demarco urges Maltese authorities to enforce stricter rules against caravans, RVs and boats occupying parts of the Baħar iċ-Ċagħaq coastline. It has gathered 1,175 signatures. Demarco argues that the growing number of vehicles reduces public access to the coast and affects the area's natural beauty. Proposed measures include regular patrols, fines, removal of unauthorised vehicles, and designated parking areas away from the shoreline.
Police ordered the owners of 13 caravans parked on private land in Ġnejna Bay to vacate the area. Four complied, while charges have been filed against the others, likely resulting in fines, as the caravans partially block public access to the bay.
