Small wetland of only 2.26 hectares but of great ecological importance because it is located in a very anthropoized agricultural environment, which makes it an oasis for birds.

JaZusätzliche Informationen
Despite its small size and strong anthropization, it has an important ecological value for the quality of the water and for having a great variety of plant and animal endemisms, with several species included in the Valencian Catalog of protected fauna species. It stands out for harboring the only world populations of 2 gastropods (Theodoxus valentinus and Theodoxus velascoi): an endangered fern (Thilyptes palustris) and also; one of the most important populations of a small endemic fish, highly threatened (Valencia hispanica), is found in the coastal wetlands.
