Globally, wetland area is
continually decreasing due to drainage, cultivation and urbanization, and it
is therefore necessary to protect and sustainably utilize the remaining
wetland areas.
Solar Saltworks have
produced salt by solar evaporation since the dawn of human civilization.
Nevertheless, recognition of the unique coastal ecosystems that developed in
parallel with the salt production process evolution is often lacking.
Hundreds of protected bird species depend on Solar Saltworks ecosystems to
feed and/or nest.
The environmental
uniqueness of Solar Saltworks particularly current operations, is based
on the fact that they are integrated constructed coastal ecosystems, where
regular and hyper saline environments coexist and establish highly significant
shelters for wildlife.

The aim of the
conference is to identify and promote the ecological importance of Solar
Saltworks and their increasing significance for safeguarding and sustainably
developing global wetlands. Additionally it aims to develop analytical
insight and better understanding of the Saltworks ecosystems
characteristics.
Priority
will be given to following areas:
-
Wetlands
at risk – abandoned Saltworks etc
-
Structure
and function of Solar Saltworks Ecosystem
-
Solar
Saltworks Production Process
-
Solar
Saltworks Biological system
-
Avifauna
and Flora of Solar Saltworks
-
Low,
medium and high salinity microorganisms in Solar Saltworks
-
Dynamics
of Solar Saltworks Ecosystem
-
Geochemistry in Solar Saltworks ponds
-
Solar Saltworks for
Ecotourism and Environmental Education
-
Restoration of Solar Saltworks
-
Solar Saltworks for Pollution Control and Water Treatment
-
Climatic Change and its Potential Impact on Solar
Saltworks
