Lago di Fondi, Protected lake in Province of Latina, Italy
Description
Lago di Fondi is a protected lake in the Province of Latina that covers a wide area and connects to the Tyrrhenian Sea through multiple channels. The water mixes fresh and salt due to underground springs meeting the tidal flow from the sea.
History
The area was once covered in marshland that was later changed by drainage channels to control water levels. These works allowed people to use the land while keeping the ecosystem intact.
Culture
Local fishers still practice their craft here following strict conservation rules that keep the lake healthy. This balance between traditional ways and environmental protection shapes how the community relates to the water.
Practical
Visitors can walk on marked paths and watch the many bird species that live in the wetlands. The best time to visit is in the morning or during calm weather, when birds are more active and easier to spot.
Did you know?
The water here is a rare mixture of fresh and salt fed by underground springs from mountains. This special chemistry creates a habitat that few other lakes have, attracting animals specially adapted to these conditions.
