Etang d'Urbino, Coastal lagoon in Ghisonaccia, France

The Étang d'Urbino spans 790 hectares, forming a circular water body divided into two sections by the Isola Longa peninsula.

Traditional fishing and oyster farming activities flourished in the lagoon for generations until their suspension in 2016 due to contamination.

The site hosts 113 bird species, including red-crested pochards and common shelducks, enriching Corsica's natural heritage.

The lagoon offers free year-round access, with walking paths around the water body for wildlife observation.

A 200-square-meter nesting platform was installed in March 2016 to support the reproduction of protected species.
