At the northern end of the Adriatic where the river Timavo enters, there begins a stretch of coastline characterized by shallow water and a complex structure of lagoons, including the lagoon of Venice, which goes right downto the delta of the river Po.

Near the mouth of the river Timavo is that of the river Isonzo which rises in the Julian Alps in Slovenia and wends its way down to enter the Gulf of Trieste between the towns of Monfalcone and Grado. The Isonzo Rivermouth Nature Reserve covers and area of approximately 2400 hectares (c.6000 acres) situated along the final 15 km (10 miles) of the course of the river. The reserve is located within the municpalities of Staranzano, S. Canzian d'Isonzo, Grado and Fiumicello.
