Review

The submitted work, titled "SEAFLOOR INVESTIGATIONS FOR HABITAT MAPPING ON THE CONTINENTAL SHELF OF THE MALTESE ISLANDS," proposes to address a relevant topic in marine science, focusing on a geographically specific and ecologically important area. Habitat mapping is a critical endeavor for conservation, resource management, and understanding marine ecosystems. However, the provided submission lacks an abstract, which is a fundamental component for any scientific manuscript and prerequisite for a substantive review. The absence of an abstract makes it impossible to assess the core aspects of the study, including its specific objectives, the methodologies employed (e.g., acoustic, optical, sampling techniques), the scope of the investigations, the main findings, or the conclusions drawn. Without this concise summary, a reviewer cannot gauge the novelty of the research, the robustness of its approach, the significance of its results, or its potential contribution to the field of marine habitat mapping. Key information such as the types of habitats mapped, the resolution of the mapping, the spatial extent of the study area, or the tools used for data analysis remains entirely unknown. Given the critical missing information, a meaningful evaluation of this manuscript is not possible at this stage. While the title suggests a pertinent and potentially valuable contribution, the full scientific merit and suitability for publication cannot be determined without the abstract providing an overview of the study's content. Therefore, I recommend that the authors provide a comprehensive abstract detailing their research aims, methods, key results, and conclusions before the paper can proceed to a full peer review.
