ECOLOGICAL BENEFITS: Due to its geographic location and proximity to the Laguna Madre, there is a very diverse avifauna, with more than 140 bird species among resident and migratory, as it is found within the Central Migratory Corridor.

Its wetlands and extensive sinuous shorelines maintain very diverse aquatic environments, whose function and value are very important, especially for such waterfowl as the red-headed and spotted ducks and other shore-birds.
