Huge sebkha (Salt marsh) 2/3 in Libya the rest in Tunisia, This site is very important for salt extraction, by Abukammash petrochemical complex... Also it is the site where the highest recorded number of Flamingos (waterbird) occure in Libya (more than 1900 birds in 2007 and 2008 International wintercensus).
Simply very nice place considered as inland sea.
