Bahía de Cádiz salt marsh restoration

Overview

Restoration efforts are underway at the Salinas de Carboneros within the Bahía de Cádiz Natural Park. A five-month, 550,000-euro project funded by European NextGenerationEU funds is nearing completion, with works expected to finish within two weeks. This intervention focuses on recovering salt-making structures, creating lagoons and nesting islands for birds, and improving infrastructure for ornithological tourism and nature photography.

In parallel, experts are advocating for regenerative aquaculture to address broader environmental degradation in the salt marshes, salt pans, and estuaries of the Bahía de Cádiz Natural Park. This proposed model seeks to combine traditional activities with sustainable resource use to ensure environmental and economic viability. The region’s salt pans are also being highlighted through the traveling exhibition ‘Astutas. Salinas del siglo XXI’, which showcases the intersection of biodiversity, research, and the blue economy, including oyster farming and salicornia cultivation.
