- Announcement for the 1st International Conference on the Ecological
Importance of Solar Saltworks (CEISSA - 2006)
It is
generally accepted that the total worlds’ wetland area is continually
decreasing due to drainage, cultivation and urbanization, and it is
therefore necessary to emphasize the importance of protecting and if
possible development of the remaining wetland areas.
Solar
Saltworks produce salt by solar evaporation since the dawn of human
civilization. Nevertheless the development of a unique coastal ecosystem in
parallel with the salt production process evolution, it is not very well
known.
Hundreds
of protected bird species feed and/or nest in Solar Saltworks ecosystem.
The environmental uniqueness of Solar Saltworks and particularly the modern
ones is based in the fact that they are integrated coastal ecosystems, where
nature experiences the coexistence of regular and hyper saline environments
with high significance as shelters to wildlife.
