Mar Chiquita, Coastal lagoon in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina
The elongated Mar Chiquita lagoon stretches 25 kilometers parallel to the Argentine Sea, separated by tall dunes and fed by freshwater streams.
The indigenous communities of Buenos Aires Province relied on the lagoon's resources for centuries before it received UNESCO biosphere reserve status in 1996.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices at the lagoon's sea connection, catching pejerreyes in winter and black corvinas during summer months.
The temperate climate and consistent rainfall create favorable conditions for birdwatching activities, with 168 species from 51 families recorded in the area.
The lagoon's specific salinity results from the mix of continental watershed streams and Argentine Sea water, forming an ecosystem between Neotropical and Antarctic regions.
