Other Site Characteristics

Il sito comprende la foce del Fiume Crocchio, sul versante ionico calabrese a nord di Catanzaro lido, caratterizzato da tipica vegetazione riparia a salici, pioppi e ontani neri. In prossimità della linea di costa la vegetazione è caratterizzata da formazioni a Tamarix africana, giuncheti e canneti a Phragmites australis e Typha latifolia. Lateralmente si passa ad un ambiente eolico con dune parallele alla costa. Le dune sono degli elementi morfologici molto fragili costruiti da un processo di rielaborazione ad opera del vento dei sedimenti sabbiosi presenti sulla spiaggia. Esse svolgono un importantissimo ruolo nel proteggere dalle onde e dai venti provenienti dal mare le aree retrostanti consentendo lo sviluppo di una fitta vegetazione psammofila. A ridosso delle dune sono presenti lembi di macchia a Lentisco.
