Vurgu field is located south of Butrinti Lake and along the Butrinti channel. The area used to be a brackish wetland but it has been drained during the late 60s. At the present the lower part closer to the sea has been restored to its former salt marsh status resulting in a significant increase in biodiversity. The remaining higher ground that is the focus of this project, at the present is used as low-grade pasture due to varying degree of salinity present in the soil. This project will evaluate the soil salinity and evaluate the possibility of creating islands of vegetation in the otherwise rather barren landscape
