Corsica has a large area of wetlands, as well as in the mountains along the coast. They are transition zones between terrestrial and aquatic, difficult to define as always in motion.
They are now protected areas and are subject to regulation since 1992. This legislation includes lakes, pozzines, bogs, ponds, gaps, marshes and other temporary pools. In 2005, a new legal status specific to wetlands is voted. The preservation of these areas is the key word in this legislation. To do this, a new tax incentive as an overall strengthening of protection was provided under the legislation.
