Riserva naturale regionale delle Isole dello Stagnone di Marsala

The reserve encompasses four islands surrounded by shallow waters, creating a protected environment for diverse flora and marine species spanning 2,000 hectares.

The Sicilian government established this protected area in 1984 to preserve the ancient salt production methods and safeguard the natural habitats of migratory birds.

Local salt harvesters maintain traditional production techniques at Ettore e Infersa, Genna, and San Teodoro salt pans, continuing centuries of Mediterranean craftsmanship.

Visitors can explore the reserve through guided boat tours, bicycle rentals, or walking paths that connect the main observation points and salt production facilities.

The reserve contains the island of Mozia, where archaeological excavations revealed Phoenician settlements and artifacts dating back to the 8th century BC.
