In its proposal, the association lists the Trafal and Foz do Almargem wetlands in Loulé, the wetlands of Pêra and Lagoa dos Salgados, in Silves and in Albufeira, and the Alagoas Brancas, in Lagoa, as being in need of protection. With the funding, Almargem hopes to deepen its knowledge of the wetlands and to properly prove their classification as protected areas.
