Research into how different stakeholders value geodiversity within Malta's coastal environment

Abstract

Geodiversity refers to the variety of geological, geomorphological and soil features, and their assemblages, properties, relationships, systems and interpretations[1].For years geodiversity conservation has come second to biodiversity, with many finding it difficult to define the two separately[2].The research conducted aimed to explore the diverse set of ways geodiversity was valued between tourists and locals, and whether coastal sites were treated differently to others. The question ‘Do tourists and locals value geodiversity differently in three separate coastal environments’ was used throughout the study.
