Other Site Characteristics

La lagune est menacée naturellement comme l'ensemble des lagunes du littoral languedocien par des phénomènes d'eutrophisation et de comblement et elle est soumise à une forte pression anthropique. La vulnérabilité de la lagune et des zones humides périphériques associées est lié au bassin versant de l'étang de l'or qui regroupe 31 communes et 120 000 habitants permanents. La situation du plan d'eau se trouve donc fortement liée aux activités implantées (urbanisation, agriculture) sur ce bassin versant vaste et urbanisé. La qualité de l'assainissement des eaux usées domestiques recherchée sur ces espaces est donc déterminante pour l'avenir de l'étang. La vulnérabilité des milieux dunaires (le Petit et Grand Travers) est liée à la fréquentation touristique très importante sur cette portion de côte en période estivale. Le site présente un patrimoine naturel remarquable dont la conservation dépend fortement de l'amélioration de la qualité de l'eau de la lagune et des écosystèmes aquatiques, et du maintien de la diversité des habitats naturels des marges de l'étang.

4.2 Quality and importance

L'étang de Mauguio ou étang de l'Or est une lagune en communication avec la mer par un grau qui relie le Sud Ouest de l'étang au port de Carnon. Il est entouré par une gamme variée d'habitats naturels : -un système dunaire avec une grande extension de dunes fixées en bon état de conservation mais séparées du système lagunaire par une route littorale. -des milieux saumâtres à hyper salés sur les rives Sud et Est et des lagunes temporaires, riches en herbiers de Ruppia et des sansouires sur le bordure des rives Nord. -des milieux saumâtres à doux influencés par l'eau douce sur les rives Nord, où se développent des prés salés et des formations boisées (frênes, peupliers blancs) et d'anciens prés de fauche. Les rives Nord sont restées à l'écart des grandes transformations qui ont affecté le littoral languedocien et sont marquées par une occupation traditionnelle des terres (élevage, cultures).
