The Mort Lagoon is the most characteristic element, from an environmental point of view, of the Eraclea coast, along the coast of the northern Upper Adriatic. This seawater lagoon, separated from the open waters, is characterized by shallow, sandy seabeds rich in phytoplankton, where mussels, clams, oysters, crabs, mullet, plaice and sole live. Until 1935 the Mort Lagoon was nothing more than the last stretch of the Piave river, which ran perpendicular to the coastline before flowing into the open sea. At the height of a particular flood, the Piave broke its banks, abandoning the old riverbed and opening its way to flow into its current Cortellazzo estuary. This last excerpt therefore became devoid of tributaries and was filled only by the rising tide, transforming into a small lagoon of considerable environmental and faunal interest.

The progressive silting of the body of water allows you to cross the mouth of the Mort at low tide and visit the south-eastern shore located in the municipality of Jesolo. The north-west side of the lagoon, called Valle Ossi, falls entirely within the municipality of Eraclea and is covered by a pine forest still devoid of tourist settlements and uncontaminated.

The Laguna del Mort is a lagoon with sea water, located in the Veneto, along the coast of the northern Adriatic, northeast of the lagoon of Venice. It adjoins the last arm of the mouth of the river Piave. The average depth is about half a meter, the maximum is a maximum of 2 m.
Until October 5, 1935, the Laguna del Mort was nothing but the last section of the river and its mouth. At that time, the river Piave was perpendicular to the coastline to a few hundred meters from the Adriatic Sea. When he reached the village of Cortellazzo, the river turned diagonally to the left and ran about 3 km perpendicular to its origin, in its place it emptied into the Adriatic Sea.
On that day, at the height of a special flood, the Piave broke the right bank just where it turned to the northeast, and immediately plunged into the sea, leaving the old river bed, and sealing off the sand and mud dump the connection between this and the river itself. This last part of the Piave was therefore free of freshwater inflows and was only filled by the rising tide.
Over time, the dead branch of the Piave River has partially buried itself and has become the natural habitat of hundreds of marine and lagoon birds.
This particular context was also favored by the particular state of isolation, which isolates the area around the lagoon from the surrounding countryside, since it is bordered by three watercourses: the Piave River in the southwest, Livenza in the northeast, and the navigable Revedoli Canal in the west ,

Laguna del Mort is a lagoon with sea water, located in the Veneto region, along the coast of the Upper Northern Adriatic, north-east of the Venice lagoon. About half a meter deep on average, with the maximum depth not exceeding 2 m, it is contiguous to the last branch of the mouth of the Piave and sees the border between the coastal municipalities of Jesolo and Eraclea run along its axis.
