The Convention related to the damp zones of international
importance above all as habitat of the aquatic birds, better note
as convention of Ramsar, in his preamble it recognizes «the
fundamental ecological functions of the damp zones as those that
regulate the regime of the waters and as habitat of a |

flora and a fauna characteristics and, particularly, of aquatic
birds». The art. 2 declare that «every contracting part designates
the damp zones of international importance», while the art.4
specifies that «every contracting part favors the guardianship of
the damp zones and the aquatic birds creating some natural
reserves in the damp zones, independently from the fact if they
were or no you insert in the list, and it assures a suitable
overseeing of it». At this convention has also stuck our Country
that has made her executive with DPR n. 448 of 13.3.76. More recently the Law n. 431 of the 8.8.85, “Law Galasso”,
underlines the importance of the damp zones in the most general
landscape-environmental context, inserting them in tipologic list
of the good to protect. From such premises it appears evident that
further to a system of damp zones of international importance are essential the individualization and the guardianship of a
system of damp zones "smaller" (not insert in the
list) that represent for the aquatic birds important points
of standstill and rest in the migratory moves from the territories
of reproduction to those however of svernamento and vice versa,
situated sometimes in thousands of kilometers of distance among
them. The biotopo of the Lake of Salinella is to consider one of
these smaller damp zones, situated in the western jonico
along one of the principal migratory lines that
interests our Peninsula. It deals with a coastal lake retrodunale that be
is to border among the regions Puglia and
Basilicata, in the communes of Ginosa and Bernalda, occupying the
terminal line of the ancient river bed of the River Bradano.
Integral part of this coastal environment is the complex boscato
of recent plant, sets between the actual course of the Bradano and
the Stream Galaso. For its naturalistic importance is to
underline besides the vegetation alofila of the ancient river bed
of the Bradano and the interesting cenosi psammofila installed
around the first cords dunosi behind the beach. Under the aspect
avifaunistico this biotopo is as one of the most important
damp zones of the coast Jonica for the presence, in the spring
period, of a conspicuous number of Ardeidi, Anatidi (in particles
ducks of surface), Charadriformi and for the nest-building of some
tied up kinds tightly to the damp environments. |
