A patchwork of freshwater ponds and tidal marshes creates a biological transition zone between land and sea on the protected islands within Bassin d'Arcachon. This complex wetland ecosystem, representing one of Western Europe's most pristine coastal marshland systems, functions as a critical buffer against coastal flooding while supporting extraordinary biodiversity, including 75% of migratory bird species traveling along the East Atlantic Flyway between Africa and northern Europe.
