The Nervia is a river in the western part of the Italian region Liguria , in the Riviera di Ponente . The 28.3 kilometer long river has its source on the slopes of Monte Pietravecchia and is also known as Valun de Tane in its upper reaches, near the municipality of Buggio .
The Nervia catchment area covers an area of 195 square kilometers . Its flow rate is strongly dependent on the season. The river bed is often drained in the last few kilometers before the mouth in summer.
At the mouth of the Nervia in the Ligurian Sea , between the cities of Ventimiglia and Camporosso , there is a small nature reserve, the Oasi faunistica del Nervia .
The sanctuary
The banks and the estuary of the river are monitored by two independent conservation projects because of their great biodiversity . One of them is the Oasi faunistica del Nervia (in German: animal oasis of Nervia ). The oasis is located at the mouth of the Nervia and has an area of approximately 60,000 m 2 . It was established in 1982 and is monitored and administered by the WWF .
Since 2005, the banks of the river have also been part of a protected area. This covers around 44 hectares and has been declared an Area of Community Importance (SCI) class B by the Liguria region .
