• In winter, dry air coming from midland.

its status as a natural reserve, the Kneiss archipelago is also classified as a SPAMI, an important area for the conservation of birds (IBA) and a RAMSAR site. It is also a future marine and coastal protected area.

Up to 330,000 birds can be observed in the winter amongst which are vulnerable species on a Mediterranean scale, such as the greater pink flamingo and other endangered species such as the white spoonbill and the slender-billed gull.
