Lemnos Island, NE Aegean: Pollution at Moudros coastal wetland
Posted on Wednesday, June 9th, 2010
The island of Lemnos is close to the Turkish coast and on an important bird migration route. Consequently, its wetlands are quite valuable as resting places for many threatened species. The Moudros coastal wetland, which adjoins the airport of the island, is being used as a garbage dump, thus degrading its characteristic landscapes and undermining its tourist attraction.
