Fisheries / Fisheries & Marine Life
Italian term or phrase: bassifondi costieri
The text deals with the harmonisation of Industrial Fishing with protection of the environment and marine life. In this context, the author

La sostenibilità passa anche attraverso un’acquicoltura responsabile, secondo il codice di condotta FAO del 1995 che prevede fra l’altro la valorizzazione dei sistemi marino-costieri. Ad esempio la valorizzazione produttiva di ambienti di transizione come lagune, valli da pesca, mari interni, **bassifondi costieri** viene vista oggi come nuova possibilità per la conservazione stessa di questi biotopi.

Can anyone enlighten me on the English equivalent of this term?

Thanks in advance!
