Questa meraviglia della natura è il frutto delle attività di bonifica che hanno interessato la zona per un secolo e mezzo. Fondamentale è stata la bonifica di Livenzuola, un territorio di proprietà del Signor Marco Aurelio Pasti compreso fra il canale Revedoli e il mare. Fu proprio Pasti a raccogliere i pinoli del pinus italicus nella pineta di Ravenna e a farli seminare lungo il litorale, dando vita alla maestosa pineta che possiamo ammirare oggi.

The Laguna del Mort is an attractive natural area that stretches between Eraclea Mare and the mouth of the river Piave. It is a seaside lagoon created by the breakdown of the Piave in 1936, as a result of a great flood that affects the last part of the river bed.
Access to the lagoon is located to the right of Mariclea dock, from here you have to go to the mouth of the Piave on foot or by bicycle along a dirt path shaded by pine trees.
Characterized by shallow water with sandy bottoms rich in phytoplankton, the Laguna del Mort is a pristine environment inhabited by a large variety of native plants and animals that make up a real ecosystem.
The fauna is very extensive and includes both fish  (mussels, oysters, crabs, clams, plaice, mullet, sole) and bird (cormorants, egrets, terns, grebes).

These days are the stages crossed by the routes of navigation pleasure, that depart from the docks of Eraclea Mare, Torre di Fine and Brian. It is very picturesque river routes both from the environmental and landscape point of view, both from the historical and artistic point of view.

The Eraclea campaigns testify today the important reclamation carried out starting from the end: canals, locks and pumping stations still characterize the landscape of the area. The cultivation of corn, soybeans, wheat, vines and fruit trees are still separated by a grid of ditches often delimited by rows of poplars. Here and there still arise farms and farmhouses, many of which are closed.
