Ta' Ċenċ Cliffs
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ta' Ċenċ Cliffs, also known as Sanap Cliffs, form a 20 ha linear strip of cliffed coastline in Sannat, on the southern coast of the island of Gozo, Malta, in the Mediterranean Sea. The area consists of garrigue and steep and rugged cliffs, which rise from sea level to a height of 120 m.[1] The cliffs are identified as an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because they support 800–1000 breeding pairs of Cory's shearwaters and 150–300 pairs of yelkouan shearwaters.[2]
