Italiano: La riserva è un’area protetta di 116 ettari che sorge lungo le sponde del secondo seno del Mar Piccolo di Taranto. L’area del Mar Piccolo dove sorge la Riserva Palude La Vela inoltre, si caratterizza per la presenza di un substrato impermeabile che ha consentito la formazione di una zona paludosa di transizione tra acque dolci e salate, ovvero l’habitat ideale di molte specie avifaunistiche di interesse comunitario, sia stanziali che migratorie come aironi, garzette, spatole, tuffetti, piro-piro, chiurli, volpoche, fenicotteri, avocette, falchi pescatori, nonché il cavaliere d’Italia che nidifica in palude.
