| Resumo: | This work focuses on the study of wetlands estuary, concentrating on two particular ecosystems: one natural, the estuarine salt marsh and other artificial, the salt pans. The main goal is to provide support to the intervention aimed at the conservation of these areas. Salt pans are secular artificial ecosystems, responsible for significant changes in the landscape, currently are threatened to disappear, resulting in an irreversible loss of biological richness, ecological, historic-cultural and landscaping. They play a key role for waterbirds, especially for waders. The case study of this work is a proposal for the redevelopment of the salt pans Cavalos and Olhos that are disabled in the Herdade da Mourisca (Setúbal, Sado Estuary, Portugal). This recovery is aimed at creating a "living museum" which allows the observation of the salt activity, whose role was central to the development of this region. The undeniable importance of the Mourisca’s area in ornithological terms implies that recovery be designed so as to combine the salt pan activity with the conservation of this site as refuge for these birds. The proposal will be directed to raising awareness and environmental education and eco-tourism activities, being a vehicle to promote the natural and cultural values of the Sado Estuary |
