Description:
The principal objective of the project was to define a coordinated and homogeneous management model for this type of wetland in order to safeguard its function as biological reserve. As a first step, basic information was to be acquired on the hydrological characteristics of the sites and on the effects of water use on each locality. A system of qualitative and quantitative environmental monitoring was to be set up, so as to provide the foundations for the elaboration of the management model and for its application by the project managers and the competent municipal authorities. Locally, small-scale conservation engineering works were to be implemented to improve habitats. The project was to be backed up by awareness measures, principally directed at those engaged in economic activities in the areas bordering the sites, with the aim of involving them in the sustainable management of these resources. Dissemination of the project and the management model in scientific circles was also foreseen.
