Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.

The proyect has two main objectives: 1) Improve water quality of water input to Albufera’s lagoon 2) Improve biodiversity by habitat restoration and management

Monitoring surveys and results

Edit project overview to modify the Monitoring survey and results.

Water and biodiversity monitoring each 10 days, specially waterbirds. Restoration and management have boosted local endangered waterfowl populations and eased the colonization of new species for the Albufera wetland. Breeding populations of othe species than birds have established (reptiles and insects).

Lessons learnt

Edit project overview to modify the lessons learnt.

The management through landstewardship agreements and a participatory (universities, volunteering, citizen science), approach have facilitated the integrated management of the wetland and awareness raising. Socio economic improvement of local business (i.e. navigation) has been launched through collaboration with navigators for public use purposes.
