• What is sustainable?

Sustainable valorization of saltworks


The definition is well known

"Sustainable development is development

that meets the needs of the present

without compromising the ability of

future generations to meet their own

needs."

But how to apply it?




The main factor to measure is the time.

How long does it take to the exploited

resource to be renewed?




The main factor to measure is the time.

The time concept is well known and used

is forestry for example.

What about the saltworks?



What about the saltworks?

Saltworks have an annual cycle from the

salt extraction point of view.

From the tourism point of view they

depend from their biodiversity not from

the salt as mineral.

In these sense the time span to consider

is the time necessary to recover the

Biodiversity in case of loss.




Boiling the water to

get the salt is not

enough to attract

tourist

The project produced Guideline for

sustainable valorization of saltworks.

The main activities considered are

sustainable:

Management of the area

Salt production

Carrying capacity for tourism

Marketing and promotion



Currently not all the activities are fully

exploited to the maximum level.

Are there other sustainable activities?




In Black sea saltworks exploit other two

resources:

1) Medicinal mud

2) Lye (concentrated solution, produced

during the salt extraction, rich in

microelements such as potassium, sodium,

magnesium, chlorine, bromine, sulphates,

etc..





resources:

1) Medicinal mud

Mud is used both for skin cure and beauty

treatment (SPA), that is another increase in

tourism.





resources:

2) Lye is used in SPA and in toothpaste!



CONCLUSION

Saltworks are a very good example of

sustainable development

Traditional activities currently are not fully

exploited;

Salworks hold potentially new economic

activities not yet exploited in this region.

Grazie per l’attenzione!

Hvala za vašo pozornost!
