The Salinas do Samouco is an ecological and conservation project and a feeding and nesting place for thousands of birds.
Its proximity to the largest and most important wetland of Portugal the Tagus Estuary, makes the Samouco salt pans a great place of shelter for many waterbirds that during their migrations, find in the different tanks, a great place to feed and rest. In the 360 ha that comprise the Samouco saltpan complex, 203 species of birds have been observed to date. Nowadays, most of these salt pans no longer produce salt, but their physical structure has been preserved in order to guarantee the circulation of salt water coming from the Tagus estuary. The management of the water in the tanks through a system of gates is fundamental for the maintenance of different depths and salinity levels, providing a great food availability that attracts hundreds of birds, especially during high tide. Besides feeding and seeking refuge in these areas, some species, such as Steltkluut, use the salt pans as nesting site. Among the other birds you can see are Flamingo, Strandplevier, Bontbekplevier, Kluut, Grutto, Dwergstern, Zilverplevier, Regenwulp, Wulp and Kleine Zilverreiger. But many more, see the birdlist below.
