Résumé :	The Northern Adriatic coastal band (Valli di Comacchio, Po Delta, the Venice and Friuli Lagoons) is the most important wetland in Italy for waterbirds and one of the most important in southern Europe. This aquatic zone is not only an important area for wintering nordic populations, but the southernmost part (“Valli di Comacchio”) hosts the largest populations of Laridae and Sternidae breeding in Italy. 8 of the 11 species constantly present in Italy reproduce in the 10,200 hectares saved from reclamation (the reclamation of the approx. 18,000 hectares in the western part of the Valli was terminated in 1962). An additional two species (Sterna caspia, Sterna bengalensis) have been occasionally found breeding there.
