Étendu sur les communes du sud de Bastia, sur près de 1800 hectares entre Furiani et Lucciana, l’étang de Chjurlinu a été classé réserve naturelle en 1994.
Cette zone humide, la plus grande de Corse, à cheval entre le fleuve du Bevincu et la mer Méditerranée, fait office de véritable « poumon vert » au sein de l’agglomération bastiaise. Gestionnaire de cet espace protégé, la Collectivité de Corse veille sur ce site exceptionnel et organise des visites ludiques et pédagogiques pour découvrir cette biodiversité, à travers les quelques 300 espèces végétales recensées sur les lieux et les 240 espèces de poissons, oiseaux, batraciens, reptiles ou insectes qui composent sa faune. depuis 2011, l’écomusée du fortin, bâti à l’époque génoise sur l’îlot d’ischia Nova, au coeur de la réserve, permet de découvrir l’histoire de ce site unique au moyen d’une scénographie donnant à voir tel un diaporama, l’étendue des espèces qui le peuplent et les traditions ancestrales de la pêche lagunaire.


Natural reserve of the pond of Biguglia

Spread over the communes of the south of Bastia, on nearly 1800 hectares between Furiani and Lucciana, the pond of Chjurlinu was classified as a natural reserve in 1994.
This wetland, the largest in Corsica, straddles the Bevincu River and the Mediterranean Sea, and serves as a veritable "green lung" within the Bastia urban area. As the manager of this protected area, the Collectivité de Corse watches over this exceptional site and organizes fun and educational visits to discover this biodiversity, through the 300 plant species listed on the site and the 240 species of fish, birds, amphibians, reptiles and insects that make up its fauna. Since 2011, the ecomuseum of the fortress, built during the Genoese era on the islet of Ischia Nova, in the heart of the reserve, allows visitors to discover the history of this unique site through a scenography that shows, like a slide show, the extent of the species that inhabit it and the ancestral traditions of lagoon fishing.
