Gulf of Kalloni is the largest in Lesvos and is located in the southwestern part of the island. It is a semi-enclosed system which communicates with the  Aegean via a channel width of less than one kilometer. The channel significantly restricts the movement of water bodies resulting creation of special features in the vagina. Specifically, it has higher salinity of the sea (about 4 ° Be) as a result has high productivity and eutrophication.The most important part of the wetland is located in the northern and eastern part of Gulf, where is the homonym saltmarsh because nested rare and

endangered and therefore protected it, birds. The saltmarsh Kalloni

created mainly by the consequential action of Flounder Tsiknia,

which result in adulterous vagina.

The vegetation found in Kalloni, as in other pans

consists of species adapted to conditions of salinity. According to

study the dominant salt marsh plants are species of the genus Arthrocnemum,

Halimione portulacoides, species of the genus Limonium, Salicornia species of the genus and  Hordeum marinum (in drier soil). On heaters with lower salinity

10 Be of the underwater vegetation grows 'algae' from plants of the genus

Ruppia. The most important planktonic organism observed in saltmarsh

Kalloni is anostrako carcinoid artemia, which as stated above

directly affects the production process and also a valuable food

for many bird species. Also found here and the small fish zamparella

(aphanius fasciatus) and several species of marine insects.

In Kalloni have so far seen more than 100 species

birds most of which are protected by the Greek and

Community legislation. Examples are the Avocet, the Stilt, the

thalassosfyrichtis the nanoskalidra the curlew, the mafrovoutichtara the

dunlin, various species of herons and storks, flamingos known that

remain in saltmarsh almost all round the year in large

populations of many species such as terns Tern, Little Tern and the

the geloglarono.

It is worth noting that the modernization of the salt lake held

recently by us and included the redesign and on '

completely rebuilding the productive area of the salt lake and the

mechanize the operation resulted in the doubling of

annual quantity of output, but more importantly effective

upgrading of the ecosystem of the salt lake. Specifically after reopening

the salt lake with a large increase in both the number and species of
