Pink salina, Aigues-Mortes - France
The salt marshes of Aigues-Mortes are devoted to the production of quality sea-salt, essentially destined for the food trade.
The water pink colouring is due to the proliferation of the micro-organisms of a microscopic algae variety called "Dunaliella salina".
On the salt marshes also the exploitation of the Artemia Salina complements the salt producing activities. Artemia salina is a species of brine shrimp – aquatic crustaceans. It is a very old species that does not appear to have changed in 100 million years and is native to saline lakes, ponds and temporary waters in the Mediterranean regions of Southern Europe, Anatolia and Northern Africa..
