*' | *Located north of Naples, in the territory of the municipality of Bacoli, Lake Fusaro was most often classified by geographers as a lago di barra marina. A thin coastal strip separates the lake from the sea forming an exceptional ecosystem of enormous environmental interest in which the typical coastal dune is visible, composed of a varied spontaneous vegetation, the so-called Mediterranean scrub. Along the coastal strip and in the internal part up to the slopes of Mount Cuma it is easy to meet: the zigolo, the chamomile, the rosemary, the holm oak, the strawberry tree, the mastic tree, the alanterno, the juniper, the tamaro, the butcher's broom and the fig of the Hottentots. The brackish lagoon of Fusaro (known since the third century BC as Acherusia Palus) thanks to the presence of fresh water springs, has been able to offer the world superior quality oysters for decades. As for the flora, the habitats of the meadows are located in the surroundings of Lake Fusaro. This type of vegetation was maintained by mowing or grazing. Depending on the state of abandonment, these habitats are slowly and naturally evolving towards more mature forms of shrub vegetation. More precisely, Lake Fusaro was used for aquaculture during the Roman era and still hosts fish and mussel crops. Today, it is affected by the artificialization of most of the embankments, by the presence of the intensive cultivation of mussels and by various sewage drains. | ||

Illegal dumping was only eliminated in 2020, and thanks to its presence for over 10 years, it has contributed significantly to polluting the waters of the lake and the sea. The seabed is covered by a layer of mud made up of mud and soil transported by rainwater and untreated waste water discharges, sea sands, and organic residues of animal and vegetable origin; The legislation provides that the presence in the water of two bacteria, Escherichia coli (which causes colitis) and intestinal Enterococci (one of the causes of diverticulitis of the colon) are considered as indicators of bathing, so if other bacteria or other pollutants would not result from the analyzes.

Rationale
- Lake Fusaro turns out to be a natural element that from the earliest Greek civilizations was essential for anthropic organization and development, today it is not only home to historical cultural heritage but there is a constant development of environments that show a fascinating biodiversity
- The characteristics of the place suggest the possibility of defining a planning according to a type of liveability that is more ecological, social and aesthetically pleasing
Location and scope
You can edit this map with the map editor
Water as a natural system
Geomorphology, typologies and dynamics of water areas
- Lake Fusaro is included in the limits of the municipality of Bacoli belonging to the vast South-West area of Naples called Campi Flegrei, this is a large caldera with a diameter of 15 km whose limits are defined by the Posillipo hill, the Camaldoli hill, the acropolis of Cuma and Monte di Procida, in this circuit there are numerous craters. The Phlegraean word derives from the Greek flégo that is "burn" or "ardo", however, it does not refer to eruptive manifestations since in Roman times the volcano was in a quiet state, the attribute seems to refer to the presence of numerous fumaroles and thermal waters, these forms of hydrothermal manifestations are typical of the locality
- In ancient times, Lake Fusaro was identified with the mythical Acherusia palus (III CENTURY BC) that is the infernal swamp generated by the Acheron river, the local populations cultivated mussels in the lake and oysters today there are mussel farms which are sometimes interrupted due to pollution due to the incorrect disposal of black water and waste
- Please identify the water bodies' catchment areas, tributaries and floodplains
- The Campi Flegrei area appears to be like a lunar landscape, you can see several depressed areas, that is, ancient calderas due to the volcanic activity of the site, some of them were filled with water forming lakes, for example Lake Averno; others, such as the Solfatara, are the expression of the volcanic activity that manifests itself through the fumaroles. In particular, the Fusaro lake was formed with the closure of the stretch of sea between 2 hamlets of Bacoli, Torregaveta and Cuma, today the coast separates the lake from the sea forming an exceptional ecosystem where the typical coastal dune is visible, composed of a variegated spontaneous vegetation called Mediterranean scrub, in addition to the lake it has two water flows that flow into the Tyrrhenian Sea; the origin of Lake Miseno is very similar, that is, separated from the sea by a sandy barrier about 200 meters wide and connected to the sea by two streams.
- In the summer of 2011 and 2017, particular precipitation values were recorded which caused particular and devastating alluvial phenomena in a single day in the area adjacent to Lake Fusaro but were nevertheless episodic events

Water as a living space
- Located north of Naples, in the territory of the municipality of Bacoli, Lake Fusaro was most often classified by geographers as a lago di barra marina. A thin coastal strip separates the lake from the sea forming an exceptional ecosystem of enormous environmental interest in which the typical coastal dune is visible, composed of a varied spontaneous vegetation, the so-called Mediterranean scrub. Along the coastal strip and in the internal part up to the slopes of Mount Cuma it is easy to meet: the zigolo, the chamomile, the rosemary, the holm oak, the strawberry tree, the mastic tree, the alanterno, the juniper, the tamaro, the butcher's broom and the fig of the Hottentots. The brackish lagoon of Fusaro (known since the third century BC as Acherusia Palus) thanks to the presence of fresh water springs, has been able to offer the world superior quality oysters for decades. As for the flora, the habitats of the meadows are located in the surroundings of Lake Fusaro. This type of vegetation was maintained by mowing or grazing. Depending on the state of abandonment, these habitats are slowly and naturally evolving towards more mature forms of shrub vegetation. More precisely, Lake Fusaro was used for aquaculture during the Roman era and still hosts fish and mussel crops. Today, it is affected by the artificialization of most of the embankments, by the presence of the intensive cultivation of mussels and by various sewage drains.
- The waters of the canals are polluted by illegal civil, industrial and agricultural-livestock discharges that cause widespread and uncontrolled pollution. Illegal dumping was only eliminated in 2020, and thanks to its presence for over 10 years, it has contributed significantly to polluting the waters of the lake and the sea. The seabed is covered by a layer of mud made up of mud and soil transported by rainwater and untreated waste water discharges, sea sands, and organic residues of animal and vegetable origin; The legislation provides that the presence in the water of two bacteria, Escherichia coli (which causes colitis) and intestinal Enterococci (one of the causes of diverticulitis of the colon) are considered as indicators of bathing, so if other bacteria or other pollutants would not result from the analyzes. As early as 2008, Lega Ambiente denounced that the new rules would have made even unquestionably polluted stretches of coast suitable for swimming. One of these is, for example, the Roman Beach of Cuma, a beautiful coast with the Regional Forest of Cuma behind it, in whose sea the Cuma Purifier spills water that is anything but clean. Fortunately, the conditions of the Cuma purifier have improved, the situation of the Phlegraean waters has really improved over the years thanks to the two major European projects involving the sewer networks and the Cuma purifier, the situation can really reach excellent levels, but at least for now there it seems really out of place to speak of excellence, when our coasts are battered by waste of all kinds and as long as this precarious balance will always and only depend on the hope that the purifier will not create other disasters

Blue and Green Infrastructure
- The green and blue infrastructures are planned networks, occupied by natural and semi-natural areas of the territory, capable of providing multiple environmental and social benefits but today around the Fusaro lake there are many abandoned and uncultivated green areas that limit accessibility . In general, the area around Lake Fusaro has a great potential that is not fully exploited due to water pollution and the ban on bathing to try to improve the state of the water.
- The municipal authorities are planning to implement a redevelopment plan that provides for the restoration and making available to the public, through a loan, of the Grotte dell'Acqua, a Roman spa complex, and the completion of the works on the adjacent car park to the Vanvitelliano Park in order to accommodate many more people allowing a walk or bike ride from the Cumana del Fusaro station to the Cumana Acropolis passing through the Roman beach.

Community Mapping
What is to be mapped here?
- Social groups from within the community, for example the youth, kids, students, parents, the retired etc. Typically, these groups have specific needs, which you can also make explicit on the map. These people might not be organized in any way, but they are usually present in the context you are observing
- Local stakeholder groups: these groups are organized in one or the other way. They only exist within the community context you are observing. For example: the local community center, local churches, local interest groups, the landowners, small businesses and retailers
- External stakeholder groups are not necessarily present in the environment you are observing, but they may have strong stakes and interests. These can be local authorities, politicians, associations, care services etc.
- For each group, you may identify their needs, objectives, power and capacities
- You may also identify gaps and power conflicts
- Please try to redepict these elements in an integrated way and in relation to your water landscape. What is the relationship between these groups? Are they close or distanced from each other? Who is more powerful? Which voices are hardly heard? Do they have any shared concerns?
