AIGUAMOLLS NATURAL PARK ROSES COSTA BRAVA |
 |
|
|
The
Emporda
Aiguamolls
or
Marshes
natural
park (created
by the
Law
21/1983,
28th
October,
for the
protection
of the
marshes
of
l'Empordā)
was
declared
a
protected
area
after a
long and
intense
defense
campaign
that begun in
1976,
intended
to avoid
the
development
of the
area.
The park
itself
is
divided
into
three
main
areas:
The "Estanys"
reserve:
with
great
areas of
cane
fields, bull rushes
and
floodplains.
The "Llaunes"
reserve:
with
coastal
lakes, salt marshes
and
dunes.
The "Illa
de
Caramany"
reserve:
located
in the
middle
of the Fluviā,
where a
large
quantity
of birds
nest.
The
flora in
this
protected
area is
found to
be
associated
mainly
with the
semi-flooded
or
flooded
plains,
and
therefore
it is
possible
to see
the
presence
of
plants
typical
in this
type of
environment
such as salicor
(Athrocnenmum,
on the
seabed),
European
beach
Grass (Ammophila
arenaria,
found on
the
sands
along
the
beachfront)
and the
yellow
flag
iris
(Iris pseudacorus).
Finally,
one must
not
leave
out the
considerable
representation
of fauna
which
can be
found in
the
area,
and it
is
necessary
to
emphasize
the
presence
of the
otter (Lutra
Lutra)
and the
white
stork (Ciconia
Ciconia),
species
which
were
successfully
reintroduced
a few
years
ago, as
well as
the three spine
stickleback
(Gasterosteus
aculeafus)
and the
killifish
(Aphanius
iberus),
two fish
which
are
typical
in these
waters
and
unique
to the
area. |
