The coastal area of the Gulf of Oristano includes six Ramsar sites, 19 Natura 2000 sites in 11 municipalities and one Marine Protected Area across approximately 7,700 hectares along 140 km of coastline. The presence of 11 municipalities creates a challenging context for wetland management resulting in overexploitation and ecosystem degradation. The project objectives focused on developing a single governance model that could balance the demands of the range of economic activities (artisanal fishing, agriculture and tourism) alongside maintaining ecosystem integrity.
