Barrinha de Esmoriz, Natura 2000 protected area in Aveiro, Portugal
The Barrinha de Esmoriz extends across 396 hectares of wetlands, providing essential habitats for aquatic and terrestrial species in the Centro region.
The site received its protected status in 2000 through Resolution 76/2000 of the Portuguese Council of Ministers, establishing conservation measures.
Traditional fishing activities continue in the northern section, where former wooden huts from early 1900s stand as reminders of local heritage.
The protected area remains accessible throughout the year, with designated paths and observation points managed by the Nature Conservation Institute.
The seawater temperature maintains a consistent 16 degrees Celsius during summer months, creating specific conditions for marine life adaptation.
