Color codes Fields back-shaded in light blue relate to data and information required only for RIS updates. Note that some fields concerning aspects of Part 3, the Ecological Character Description of the RIS (tinted in purple), are not expected to be completed as part of a standard RIS, but are included for completeness so as to provide the requested consistency between the RIS and the format of a ‘full’ Ecological Character Description, as adopted in Resolution X.15 (2008). If a Contracting Party does have information available that is relevant to these fields (for example from a national format Ecological Character Description) it may, if it wishes to, include information in these additional fields.
1 - Summary 1.1 - Summary description
Please provide a short descriptive text summarising the key characteristics and internationally important aspects of the site. You may prefer to complete the four following sections before returning to draft this summary.
Summary (This field is limited to 2500 characters) The site Trappola marshland - Ombrone River mouth (Padule della Trappola - Foce dell'Ombrone) represents one of the last remnants of a complex of wetlands (partly salty and partly freshwater) and sandy dunes, which constituted the pristine landscape of the Tyrrhenian coast. The landscape includes the mouth of the Ombrone river and coastal wetlands, which are bordered by the Tyrrhenian Sea. The site is a relict example of wetlands with a remarkable naturalistic value. The ground is flat, with a very close elevation to the sea level, varying according to the dunal-interdunal system, generating a mosaic of different habitats, including an alternation of permanently or seasonally areas flooded/wet. It is a semi-natural landscape modified by variations of the coastline and by anthropogenic reclaim operations, like water canalisation, pastoral use, reforestation and tillage. The site also includes a pinewood of anthropogenic origin and is characterised by a sporadic presence of free-ranging cattle (non-intensive). This site has a very important ecological role, because of the presence of relevant and diverse habitats, including rare plant species and a number of animal species (especially birds) having many of them a conservational relevance from international/national/regional points of view. Moreover, the site is very important for maintaining the biological diversity of coastal wetlands in the Tyrrhenian coastal area, especially concerning birds: more than 150 species of which are listed as present or migrating to the area.

3 - Why is the Site important? 3.1 - Ramsar Criteria and their justification
Tick the box against each criterion applied to the designation of the Ramsar Site. All criteria which apply should be ticked. Please explain why you selected a criterion by filling in the relevant fields on this page, on the three other pages of this section 'Criteria & justification' and on the 'Wetland types' page of the section 'What is the site like?'. More guidance on how to justify a criterion will appear when you tick it as well as in the help box.
Criterion 1: Representative, rare or unique natural or near-natural wetland types To justify this Criterion, please select at least one wetland type as representative, rare or unique in the section What is the site like? > Wetland types and provide further details in at least one of the three boxes below. Hydrological services provided Storage and delivery of water (This field is limited to 3000 characters) Supports a variety of all life forms including plants, animals and microorganizms. Nature observation and Other ecosystem services provided nature-based tourism. Important knowledge systems, importance for research (scientific reference area (This field is limited to 3000 characters) or site) and long-term monitoring site. The site represents one of the last remnants of a complex of wetlands (partly salty and partly freshwater) and sandy dunes, which constituted the pristine landscape of the Thyrrenean coast, presently largely disappeared because of reclamation actions by man. This site still has a very important ecological role, Other reasons because of the presence of relevant and diverse habitats, including rare plant species (e.g. Halocnemum (This field is limited to 3000 characters) strobilaceum). Furthermore, the site has a great importance for birds and, especially, for waterbirds, including a number of species listed in the EU Birds Directive, as well as with a great conservational relevance on national/international level.

Please summarize the ecological components, processes and services which are critical to determining the ecological character of the site. Please also summarize any natural variability in the ecological character of the site, and any known past or current change
(This field is limited to 4000 characters) The site lies on one of the last remnants of coastal wetlands in Italy, showing a great value from ecological and conservation points of view. The landscape includes near-natural, permanent/seasonal floodplains, which underwent natural (e.g. coastline) and man-induced (e.g. reclaims) changes, throughout centuries. The area holds a mosaic of different habitats, being dominated by reed (Juncus maritimus and Juncus acutus), halophilous scrubs (mainly Arthrocnemum glaucum and Arthrocnemum perenne), pinewood (Pinus pinea and Pinus pinaster), as well as juniper Juniperus spp. and sclerophyllic vegetation on sandy dunes. The site is an important wintering area for birds and is especially important for waterbirds. The site lies in the most important wintering site of Anser anser, in Tuscany and holds a number of bird species protected under international, national and/or regional legislation.

Please describe any other threats (optional): (This field is limited to 3000 characters) Coastal erosion has determined a retreat of the coastline. Surveys of ground water have documented the presence of a salt-wedge. In turn, a high impact has been determined on habitats because of the introgression of salt, sea water, both direct and through canals. Since 2011, in the neighbourhoods of the area, specific actions have been conducted to mitigate coastal erosion (supported by the Tuscany Region Agency).
