It's a power point presented during the meeting in Italy.

2. Wetlands and coastal areas
have become acrossroads
of Syracuse and a stopover
for migratory birds that will
reach Africa in the fall or
spring in Europe. In fact, the
birds are in the south-
eastern Sicily more
favorable conditions for
rest, to feed and replenish
their energy supplies
needed to continue to
migrate in search of
environments that can offer
them a better habitat.

3. The Megarian salt ponds
FAUNS
Among the most important coastal wetlands in the
province of Siracusa include a large lagoon
system, once used as a salt, which develops in the
area of Augusta. This area is characterized by the
presence of various species of birds that make it
interesting from a naturalistic.

FLORA
The flora is organized in the plant associations
which take the form of belts more or less
concentric.

5. From that we have said it’s evident that the ex-
saltier of Augusta have a greatly important role
in the migration and life of many European
birds. For this reason establishment of a wildlife
Reserve would be a way to revitalize Augusta.

6. The Ciane
The Cyane river is a short watercourse in Southern Sicily,
Italy. The river has its origin from two different water
springs: Pisima and Pisimotta. It flows in
correspondence of Syracuse’s port, after a run of 8 km
having received the waters from the Anapo river.

7. The Ciane
FLORA
The Cyane spring, with its dense papyrus vegetation,
has always been considered a place of great beauty
and evocation as well as a naturalistic curiosity, as this
plant is only found in a natural setting along the Nile
river banks in Egypt.

8. The Porcaria torrent
The Porcaria torrent
flows to the spring
between
Villasmundo and
Carlentini. The
waters of eleven
springs feed the
short course, and it
assumes the name
of Brucoli’s Canal
near of its mouth.

FLORA
Today, even though anthropic disorder, the riparian
vegetation it wasn’t changed; the vegetation is that
typically of Iblee caves.
