The Barena Association is dedicated to the long-term health and wellbeing of the Northern Venetian Lagoon, its unique wetland environment, fauna and flora, and indigenous culture and traditions. Through collaborative partnerships, we support innovative sustainability projects that protect vulnerable salt marshes from untimely erosion, wildlife from extinction and depopulation, while restoring balance to the threatened ecosystem and local community growth. We monitor native islands in the northern lagoon and support projects that encourage non-tourism-oriented repopulation.
