  Sougeal marsh The RAMSAR Convention
Aims
The aim of this convention is to preserve and rationalize the use of wetlands through local, regional and national action together with international cooperation, as a contribution to sustainable development throughout the world. This international treaty, signed in Ramsar (Iran) on 2nd February 1971, came into effect on 21st December 1975.
France has adhered to it since 1986. Each State registers the sites meeting the biological criteria established by the Conference of the Parties on the "Ramsar wetlands" list. This registration is made without prejudicing the exclusive sovereignty rights of States and must be relayed by an internal preservation policy, to be effective.
