There are lots of restaurants but no investments in nature its such a pity

Wery good nature. Lovely place to spend time with family. Delicious food

The physical characteristics and habitat diversity of the lagoon are closely related to the biodiversity of the wetland complex. The most common marine plants are the underwater meadows of fucus virsoides and posidonia oceanica. The vegetation is mainly characterized by microalgae, driven by nitrogen and phosphorus availability. One indicator of this condition is the large amount of diatoms. The macrophages of the lagoon belong to chlorophyta and pheophyta. The grasslands of phanerogams cover about 40% of the lagoon. They are mainly zostera noltei, but in the shallow waters ruppia spiralis is found. This phytocoenosis has an important role in the lagoon. The hygroscopic and hydrophilic vegetation covers a considerable area of the lagoon's peripheral parts. They are dominated by the three main associations of Phragmites, Typha and Scirpus. Halophilous vegetation is most common in the northern and southern parts. This vegetation belongs to several associations, of which the most important are those with Arthrocnemum and Juncus. The vegetation of the dunes is mainly found in the western part, with diverse species. The shores of the lagoon are dominated by Tamarix, Konopica Vitex and Rubus berries. The invertebrate fauna of the lagoon and its catchment basin—including surrounding freshwater bodies, canals, marshes, estuaries and shores—are characterized by a variety of groups and species, from molluscs to mammals to crabs and insects. Many fish species are of economic interest. Amphibians and reptiles are found more in forests, swamps and canyons around the lagoon. Many Caretta water turtles live on the shore near the lagoon and the green turtle Chelonia mydas is also present. Content is available under CC BY-SA 3.0 (Wikipedia)
