Publication year: 2010 Source: Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, In Press, Accepted Manuscript, Available online 7 December 2010 Miguel, Rodríguez-Rodríguez , José, Benavente , Francisco J., Alcalá , Mariano, Paracuellos During recent historical times the Adra river delta, a detrital coastal aquifer of nearly 32 km2 located in a semi-arid, mountainous area of SE Spain, has undergone different changes caused by human activity. Within this context, both the river dynamics in the plain and the geomorphology of the coastline have at various times resulted in the formation of small lagoons. At present only two small (< 0.5 km2) lagoons exist, at the eastern edge of the aquifer, which, although closely surrounded by commercial market-garden greenhouses, are protected under international agreements.
