Reconstruction of Saline Joniche Waterfront, Italy

Abstract

Saline Joniche is an 8 km long coastal area in southern Italy along the Messinastrait and near the Etna volcano. Saline Joniche is a rich landscape, but has suffered continuous degradations as a result of industrial activities. The time has arrived to restore a healthy environmental balance and create a renewed ecosystem. The goal of this project is to transform Saline Joniche into a global model for sustainable ecological restoration and post-industrial use.
