Laguna was formed in approximately tenth century AD due to soil shrinkage and choking of the coastal zone. During the forming period, the territory was flooded with fresh water due to repeated river floods. Since the sixteenth century it has been gradually filled with seawater, becoming today a system of pools filled with brackish water. Presently, the lagoon is separated from the sea by a narrow sand bar, where a number of shoals are located; there are a lot of shoals in the lagoon itself. Initially, the square Valli di Comacchio amounted to approximately 73,000 ha; however, later, as a result of various ameliorative projects, it was reduced to 11,000 ha. Despite the fact that the entire surface is practically dissected by drainage channels, it is subsided all the time. The process takes place quite quickly, and the land in the valley of the River Po is subsided on average by several centimeters per a year. Valli di Comacchio remains the largest wetland i
