Laguna di Marceddì Protected Area: Sardinia Coastal Geography and Wetland Mapping
A Ramsar-listed brackish wetland on the Sardinian coast
Laguna di Marceddì serves as a critical protected area along the western Mediterranean coast of Sardinia. The landscape features a complex mosaic of tidal channels, shallow pools, and brackish basins. Fed by inland streams, this wetland supports diverse waterbird populations and long-standing professional fisheries while remaining a distinct, low-lying geographic feature within the surrounding agricultural plains of the Oristano province.
