Bilge Nature Reserve

The Bilge Nature Reserve is located north of the river mouth Tronto, it's a brackish marsh which occupies an area of ​​177,5 hectares in which there are only very few rural buildings and which, despite some cultivated areas and despite the complete reclamation attempts carried out in the past, presents a humid area of ​​great importance in terms of biological e aviofaunistic. It is indicated as one of the last wetlands for the migration of avifauna, present between the mouth of the Po and the Gargano and it is one of the very rare stretches of sandy beach with undeveloped hinterland in the whole Adriatic. It is rich in endangered or increasingly rare plant and animal species on Italian soil, and its importance from an environmentalist point of view is always growing given the continuous anthropization of all coastal areas both in the Marche and in the neighboring area. Abruzzo.
