	The Lagoon of Venice as a Ramsar Site
		The Lagoon of Venice as a whole is not at present covered by any special legal environmental regime, though there are a number of regulations at various levels (local, provincial, regional and national), governing various aspects of the environmental management of the lagoon.
		In the case of the Lagoon of Venice, the sediments reach the sea, are dispersed parallel to the coast by littoral drift currents ("onshore drift"), and build up sand bars parallel to the shore which eventually emerge and form the coastline of the Lido, separating the wetland from the sea.
		Subsidence occurs naturally in the Lagoon, and is accentuated by the accidental convergence of various human activities, which cause the lowering of the water table (over-exploitation of the aquifers, dredging of canals, fishery practices which have an impact on the bottom of the Lagoon, lack of inflow of sediments of fluvial origin etc).

	Visit in the lagoon of Venice (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		For the complete protection of Venice and other urban areas in the lagoon from high waters of all levels, including in the case of extreme events and in the case of a possible future rise in sea level, a combined system of various types of measures has been developed.
		These include the temporary closure of all three lagoon inlets by means of mobile gates to protect against exceptional high tides and complementary measures to the mobile gates, together with the interventions for local defence of the lowest-lying urban areas, to protect against the tides that cause the most frequent flooding.
		Defence from sea storms is a complex intervention programme to prevent the erosion of the coastline through the creation of new beaches or the widening of existing ones, the construction of ‘breakwater’ shore structures, the restoration of ancient sea wall defences (murazzi), and, where possible, the restoration of rows of dunes.

	Venice Lagoon - Venice for Visitors
		Venice is among the world's most urban cities: a crowded aggregate of houses, palazzi, churches, squares, and other manmade structures, with few public green spaces to relieve a landscape dominated by stone, brick, and stuccoed walls.
		The fish locks, or dams, are opened at certain times of the year to admit fish, then closed until the fish are ready to return to the lagoon--at which time some are caught and others are released to grow or reproduce in their natural environment.
		Tour the Lagoon by boat, and you'll see large square nets that are suspended from latticework towers.

		They all started to die, so the elders got together and decided they should pull out to a healthy place that would be defensible with boats, and where the Visigoths and the Lombards and the other bandits couldn't get at them, because these bandits had no sea power.
		There are hundreds of other islands in the lagoon, only a few of which are reachable by scheduled ACTV boats.
