Tavak és vizes élőhelyek Saaremaán

Lakes and Wetlands

Saaremaa's landscape is defined by diverse water bodies, ranging from the expansive Mullutu-Suurlaht wetland complex to the rare fen ecosystems of the Viidumäe Nature Reserve. These sites include coastal lagoons formed by post-glacial land uplift and inland lakes supporting rare flora like the endemic Saaremaa rattlesnake-root. The wetlands serve as critical habitats for migratory birds and local fish species, offering insights into the island's ongoing geological evolution and ecological preservation.
