Its story
The Mileyha Wetland is a brackish wetland on the coastal strip south of Samandağ, close to the Asi River delta. Because of its location on the Eastern Mediterranean migration route, it is a resting area for many species of waterbirds and shorebirds in spring and autumn; for this reason it is known for birdwatchers and bird-ringing work. The Samandağ beach right next to it is a nesting area for sea turtles.
