Ain Elshakika Wetland
Coastal Mediterranean wetland and bird sanctuary
Ain Elshakika Wetland represents a distinctive coastal landscape in Libya, defined by its hypersaline salt flats and seasonal tidal connections. The reserve serves as a critical refuge for migratory waterbirds and features a rare ecological transition between saline mudflats and freshwater-fed vegetation zones, all integrated within the broader protected geography of the coastal Mediterranean.
