Natural Park Ria Formosa

Necton is located in the Parque Natural Ria Formosa, a protected Natural Park. Ria Formosa is the coast near region spanning about 80 km from Faro till near the Spanish border.
We are a environment friendly company; traditional salt pans have an unique ecosystem in which microalgae, brine shrimp and salt marsh birds have lived for centuries.

Taking care for and rebuilding traditional salinas, we help to preserve this environment. The salt economy contributes to a sustainable development in which men lives and produces natural products inside a wildlife habitat.

Birdwatchers and ecologists enjoy the positive development of the Natural Park Ria Formosa in the last years. Lots of wild birds, too!
