Oasi di Cannevié

This small salt-water lagoon covers an area of 70 hectares, detached from the reclaimed Valle Gaffaro land.

It is generally quite shallow, and the prevalent vegetation includes underwater plants and bed of rushes. A small number of purple herons, little bittern and great reed warblers nest here. The migratory birds are much more numerous, counting mainly ducks. The fish include grey mullets and eels. Particularly characteristic of the area are the fishing house of Porticino and the old fishing station at Canneviè, recently restored and currently being used as a restaurant.
