Saline di Priolo, Regional nature reserve in Priolo Gargallo, Italy.
The 55-hectare reserve contains salt flats, wetlands, Mediterranean scrub, and dune areas along the Sicilian coast near Syracuse.
Established in 2000, this protected area transformed former industrial salt production sites into a natural sanctuary for local and migratory species.
The reserve functions as an educational center where visitors learn about coastal ecosystems through guided tours and environmental workshops.
Multiple birdwatching shelters and accessible trails allow visitors to observe over 200 bird species throughout different seasons.
The reserve houses a natural history library and maintains specialized field laboratories for scientific research on Mediterranean wetland ecosystems.
