The Marjal dels Moros, as a prime example of a Valencian wetland, is situated within the municipal boundaries of Puçol and Sagunt (Valencia).
This wetland showcases remarkable biodiversity, displaying species of flora and fauna of significant ecological value, along with notable hydrological and geomorphological characteristics. Nevertheless, it is situated in a confined environment, encircled by buildings, and is subject to intense pressure from agricultural, urban, and industrial activities. More information here.

The Marjal dels Moros, from the Valencian Wetlands Case Pilot, was chosen for sampling in the Mediterranean wetlands as it specifically targets brackish marshes, which are not available in other locations. These brackish marshes, located in the Valencia region, have undergone changes in hydrology, trophic levels, and morphology, and the restoration efforts were aimed at soil, morphology, and vegetation recovery.

Watch the Valencian Wetlands trailer and enjoy the incredible images shot in Marjal dels Moros for the RESTORE4Cs documentary! Valencian Wetlands is one of RESTORE4Cs Case Pilots, selected across EU coastal wetlands, to assess the impact of restoration actions to mitigate climate change and provide ecosystem services.

About the project
RESTORE4Cs is a Horizon Europe project evaluating the impact of wetland restoration on climate change mitigation and ecosystem services. It aims to create a digital platform to help stakeholders assess the costs and benefits of restoration efforts and promote sustainable management. The project also focuses on engaging communities and supporting EU policies to preserve the ecological and social value of wetlands.
RESTORE4Cs will assess the environmental and socio-economic impact of wetland restoration in six European coastal regions by analysing carbon storage, greenhouse gas exchange, and biodiversity.
