Pantani della Sicilia sud orientale, Nature reserve in Province of Syracuse, Italy

The Pantani della Sicilia sud orientale spans 1,601 hectares of wetlands, coastal lagoons, and salt marshes near the southeastern tip of Sicily.

Land uplift and sea level changes at the end of the 18th century created sand dune systems that transformed inner bays into marsh areas.

The reserve maintains traditional fishing methods while supporting modern conservation efforts through research programs and educational initiatives for local communities.

Visitors can access designated trails for bird watching, with optimal viewing spots located near Pantano Cuba and Pantano Longarini lagoons.

The area hosts 244 bird species and contains endemic plants like Limonium pachynense, listed in the Red List of Italian Flora.
