Isla de Lobos now has a new tourism attraction for the hundreds of tourists who travel there everyday to visit the Islet's Natural Park. The Cabildo's Environment Council carried out a project that was produced over the past six months in order to restore the Salt Marshes, in addition as three lime ovens and six wáter reserves all along the coastline of Isla de Lobos.

The project completes a series of activities that have been produced on the Islet recently in order to advance the facilities, such like the creation of the Centro de Interpretación, the signposting of the tracks, the refurbishment of the Martiño Lighthouse, the creation of selective information signs, the development of various cleaning campaigns or the improvements on the main harbour.

The surface occupied by the rehabilitated Salt Marshes represents 5. 800 m2. The other traditionalistic structures that have been renovated are the lime oven of Las Lagunitas and La Galera and the oven of la Atalaya Grande, which is an industrial lime oven (that used to be fuelled with coal), in addition as the wells of Las Lagunitas, la Hoya del Cagadero, ...
... Aljibe del faro, Aljibe de Los Librantes and Aljibe del Marrajo.

Salinas del Carmen are located above sea level, which means that a pumping scheme is required to get the salt water to the salt marshes. This old structure employed to have a well and a Chicago style windmill for that very intention; those are now being renovated within this project. The well is being excavated close to the coast beneath the tide level, which means that the sea water will filter into the well and the windmill will pump that water into the salt marshes.

Once they're restored, the salt marshes will be ready to be employed, and the possibility of putting them into activity will be studied to turn them into a presentation or attraction for tourists, who at any time will be competent to walk around the facilities thanks to gangways that are being built.
