This collection explores the diverse aquatic landscapes of Óbidos, centered around the Lagoa de Óbidos, Portugal’s most extensive coastal lagoon. The list highlights specific ecological zones like the Braço da Barrosa and Canal do Chico Nega, vital for birdwatching and traditional shellfish harvesting. Included are the Albufeira de Óbidos reservoir on the Arnóia River and various 'motas'—marshy embankments and wetlands that serve as critical habitats for local riparian flora and migratory fauna.
