		The Ambracian Gulf is the humble dwelling of fishermen and farmers making a living among the rich nature of the shallow bay and the surrounding marshlands.
		The estuary around the Ambracian gulf with its twenty natural lagoons (two of the largest are the Logaro, and Tsokalio or Rodias lagoons) are the refuse for a wide variety of birds and aquatic animals many of which adorn the endangered species list with their perennial presence.
