The Alfred Mizzi Foundation has been an unwavering pillar of support for Żibel, an NGO dedicated to the preservation, enhancement and raising of awareness of the vulnerable marine environment. This year, the Foundation has sponsored the much needed overhaul of Żibel’s boat Żibla, which was purchased for the NGO six years ago. Żibla was fitted with a hoist with which to lift debris up from the seabed. With further help from The Alfred Mizzi Foundation, this past year alone, Żibel has removed over 60 ghost nets from the bottom of the sea around the Maltese Islands, thus saving an incalculable amount of fish and sea creatures from perishing.
