These freshwater bodies are
generated with the accumulation of
rains in the wet season
and, when mixed with the water of
sea during high tides,
create a ideal habitat for
fish, shellfish and mollusks,
functioning as areas of
reproduction and shelter for
numerous species.

In addition, the mangroves protect
the island of erosion and of
loss of coast.

Many resident birds and
migratory depend on this
ecosystem as a source of
food and shelter. Therefore,
One of our goals is
promote recognition
of its value for birdwatching
within the community,
promoting knowledge
about the species that it
inhabit.
