In the Venice lagoon, new trees will restore old abandoned fishing valleys. Tamerisk, blackthorn, thorny olive trees, and junipers will consolidate banks and promote biodiversity in the lagoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Lio Piccolo, in the Venice lagoon we are developing a project where trees will go to restore the ancient system of lagoon fishing valleys. Which functions do trees have in this area?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. The roots consolidate the embankments bordering the valleys. This makes it possible to maintain an adequate depth of the channels;
2. Canopies curb winter winds and prevent excessive water cooling;
3. In summer, the trees keep the water more oxygenated and cooler;
4. Plants act as obstacles to birds that would like to prey on fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The growth of new trees will make it possible to restore historic fishing valleys that have been used since Roman times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is an ecosystem that supports natural fish reproduction in a sustainable way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
