Most of the territory of the Val Canal Novo Nature Reserve consists of a lagoon ("valle" in Italian) which was formerly exploited for fishing activities – after which the Nature Reserve has been named – and some sowable lands, wet environments with various saltiness levels. Considering its proximity to the town of Marano Lagunare, the Nature Reserve houses the visitor center and other facilities dedicated to visitors. The area is suitable for environmental education and didactic activities focusing on the lagoon system.
