“…En ellos se ha realizado un esfuerzo combinado y coordinado para proteger el patrimonio natural y cultural de la sal y el resurgimiento de la actividad salinera artesanal, aunque en una escala de patrimonialización diferente. Uno de ellos, la Ría de Aveiro, en Portugal, ha visto acciones de recuperación combinadas entre la Universidad de Aveiro en la salina Santiago da Fonte y el municipio, con el Ecomuseo de Marina da Troncalhada (Bastos, 2009;Cardoso, 2005;Cardoso y Ferreira, 2008;Lillebø et al, 2011;Martins et al, 2020;Rodrigues et al, 2011;Vieira y Bio, 2014). Otro ejemplo es la Bahía de Cádiz, en España, con las acciones combinadas de la Universidad de Cádiz, el Parque Natural Bahía de Cádiz y la Fundación Salarte, entre otros (Martín y Gómez, 2015;Masero, 2003;Ménanteau 2012;Ménanteau et al, 2001;Rivero et al, 2015;Tros de Ilarduya, 2014).…”

La patrimonialización de las salinas tradicionales en desuso puede ser una forma no sólo de recuperar su patrimonio, sino también una herramienta para el desarrollo local sostenible que va más allá de estos valores. Un estudio realizado en doce salinas europeas (nueve en España y tres en Dinamarca, Eslovenia y Francia, respectivamente) que se encuentran en diferentes etapas de patrimonialización muestra diferentes estrategias de recuperación del patrimonio; los obstáculos que se han encontrado en el camino y cómo (algunos de ellos) se han resuelto. Mediante un estudio comparativo de estas salinas, podemos identificar buenas prácticas y sacar conclusiones sobre lo que funciona o no a la hora de valorar el patrimonio natural, cultural y humano de estos espacios. En los doce casos se pueden observar diferentes grados de patrimonialización, algunos incipientes, otros en curso y otros ya consolidados; y se explican las diferencias entre ellos. Los procesos consolidados son los que muestran cómo el carácter multifuncional de los paisajes salados puede utilizarse para ofrecer una amplia gama de productos y servicios que van más allá de la producción de sal. Todos los casos, antes de su abandono, eran paisajes productivos dedicados al monocultivo de la sal, sin interés en preservar sus valores naturales y culturales más allá de lo estrictamente necesario para garantizar una mínima productividad. Las enseñanzas extraídas de los casos estudiados pueden servir de modelo para otros tipos de patrimonio productivo modesto en las zonas rurales. Asimismo, se discuten los retos de futuro en la patrimonialización de las salinas.

Purpose-The purpose of this paper is to perform a comparative analysis between Aveiro's Lagoon (Portugal) and Sepetiba Bay (Brazil), in order to understand the similarities and differences between these two coastal zones, in terms of human occupation. Design/methodology/approach-This paper is supported by works (papers and scientific projects being developed) produced in Portugal and Brazil, by researchers from different areas of expertise. Findings-These two coastal zones have a similar geomorphologic evolution, due to the fact that both appeared because of a sandy spit, which started to grow and separated these areas from the sea, converting them into sheltered coasts. It was because they are protected that these two study cases early became targets for human occupation. The anthropic impacts in the systems were sustainable until the middle of the twentieth century. Since then, however, the economic development options, based first in industry and second in tourism exploration, have compromised the natural healthy balance. Practical implications-This paper could be a contribution to a scientific support for political decisions on the coastal zone management (namely in these studied areas). Social implications-The paper provides and increases the knowledge of the coastal zones' evolution and occupation-from a multidisciplinary perspective-produced and made available to scientists, local politicians, students and local populations. Originality/value-The paper provides a truly interdisciplinary approach, which allows a better understanding of the evolution of these two systems, discussing the causes and consequences of human activities in both coastal areas.

“…Consequently, the number of salinas in Aveiro, which reached 500 in the 10 th century, decreased to 170 in the 17 th century. The hydraulic constructions of the 19 th century established adequate conditions for salt production, increasing the number of salinas and restoring the region's salt-producing economy till the mid-20 th century [ 16 , 17 ].…”

“…In 1970, approximately 270 salinas were active in the lagoon, covering 1661 ha and producing an average of 60, 000 tons of salt per year [ 17 ]. Since then, salt production went into decline.…”

“…Through the centuries, man has developed and refined the techniques of salt making, creating many different types of salinas, well adapted to the various local conditions [ 19 ]. Salt production in Portugal is still carried out in a traditional manner, from salt pan cleaning to salt harvest, transportation and storage, with saltworkers responsible for the organisation and carrying out of the several heavy tasks from spring to autumn [ 17 ]. Artisanal salt production is therefore an ancient activity, which has become a completely integrated part of saline ecosystems.…”

Artisanal salt production in Aveiro/Portugal - an ecofriendly process

Solar salinas are man-made systems exploited for the extraction of salt, by solar and wind evaporation of seawater. Salt production achieved by traditional methods is associated with landscapes and environmental and patrimonial values generated throughout history. Since the mid-twentieth century, this activity has been facing a marked decline in Portugal, with most salinas either abandoned or subjected to destruction, making it necessary to find a strategy to reverse this trend.It is, however, possible to generate revenue from salinas at several levels, not merely in terms of good quality salt production, but also by obtaining other products that can be commercialized, or by exploring their potential for tourism, and as research facilities, among others. Furthermore, with an adequate management, biodiversity can be restored to abandoned salinas, which constitute important feeding and breeding grounds for resident and migratory aquatic birds, many of which are protected by European Community Directives.The aims of this manuscript are to present a brief overview on the current state of sea salt exploitation in Portugal and to stress the importance of recovering these salinas for the conservation of this particular environment, for the regional economy, the scientific community and the general public. The Aveiro salina complex is presented in detail, to exemplify salina structure and functioning, as well as current problems and potential solutions for artisanal salinas.
