The '''Valli di Comacchio''', meaning "'''fish basins of Comacchio'''", are a series of contiguous [[brackish]] lagoons situated to the south of [[Comacchio]], close to the [[Adriatic]] coast of the [[Emilia-Romagna]] region in northern Italy. They lie within the [[comuni]] of [[Comacchio]] and [[Argenta, Emilia–Romagna|Argenta]] in the [[province of Ferrara]] and the comune of [[Ravenna]] in the [[province of Ravenna]].
The area, covering almost 17,000 hectares within the [[Parco regionale del Delta del Po, Emilia-Romagna|Parco regionale del Delta del Po]], the regional park of the Po Delta, is classified as a [[Site of Community Importance]] and a [[Special Protection Area]].<ref name=ER /> It is also rated internationally important by the [[Ramsar Convention]] for the [[conservation movement|conservation]] and [[sustainable use]] of wetlands.<ref name=ramsar />

[[Oak|Oaks]], [[Pine|pines]], and [[beech]] trees are prevalent in higher ground areas, while [[Reed (plant)|reeds]] and [[Tamarix|tamarisk]] are common in other parts of the area. Additionally, many types of flowers can be found, including several species of ''[[Limonium]]''. In this region there are many pine forests, most notably those of [[Cervia]] and [[Ravenna]] as well as the [[Mesola]] Forest.
== Fauna ==
The Valli di Comacchio are home to the greatest variety of birds of Italy. There are over 300 species of birds such as [[flamingo]]s, [[black-winged stilt]]s, [[egret]]s and other [[heron]]s and [[kingfisher]]s. In addition, there are fish such as [[bream]], eels, [[European seabass|sea bass]], [[Mullet (fish)|mullet]], and [[Sole (fish)|sole]]. Foxes are common.
==
Fishing is a common occupation: in fact there are still many fishing settlements in the area today. Typical of the area are fishing lodges mounted on poles in the water. These structures serve both as fishing stations and places to monitor for illegal fishing. Also common are eel-fishing basins called ''lavorieri''. There are numerous [[Salt evaporation pond|salt-panning facilities]] in the area.
