Agreed - the developers were allegedly to blame for at least one incident of the lagoon draining. What is going to happen when the other side is built over in the coming years? The birds will I am sure be scared away, the whole thing drained and more hotels built.

There is unfortunately a huge development on the Albufeira side of the Lagoon which also owns the golfcourse.
 
Those of us who know the area sre convinced that the development company are responsible for the many incidents resulting in the lagoon draining.
 
There were certainly many fewer wildfowl  there than in previous years although the famingos were back.

It was the storms at the end of  September. Two very heavy storms in a week, the water piled up and broke through big time. It took nearly a month for the dunes to rebuild themselves.

When we were there in Spetember the lagood drained because of wave action which broke through the sand dunes.
But earlier in the year it was the development company who drained it and caught a lot of lflack because it was just before the birds started breeding.
 
What happened this time ??

Forgot to say I took some pictures a couple of weeks ago and the lagoon is filing up nicely now.

I know that many of you like this area.

I picked up from another forum that the lagoon is dry. I went over there yesterday and took a few pictures which you might like to see.

usual place http://thomasallen.spaces.live.com just open the most recent album.

I also snapped the vast amount of development going on round there. Quiet holiday anyone?
