The Sebino Torbiere Nature Reserve, declared a "wetland of international importance" according to the Ramsar Convention and a Site of Community Interest (SCI) of the Natura 2000 Network, is considered a priority area for biodiversity in the Lombardy Po Valley. This is due to the variety of habitats and species, aquatic-marshland, valuable or of community interest present in the territory, rare or at risk of extinction in Lombardy and Italy. It is an area of 360 hectares, mainly composed of reed beds and bodies of water surrounded by cultivated fields, roads and houses. It includes: the Lame (vast expanse of bodies of water profiled by banks, the result of the excavation of a peaty deposit), the Lamette (a kind of peaty lagoon to the north, on the lake), some basins to the south and west (result of excavations of clayey deposits, up to 10-15 meters deep and with a clearer appearance, in some of which fishing is still permitted), some adjacent meadows and cultivated fields.

Peschiera Maraglio on Monte Isola. The largest and most popular place is Peschiera Maraglio on the southern tip of the island. Everything here is reminiscent of the most beautiful places in Italy, the medieval-looking buildings are arranged in a well-arranged manner up the mountainside. The clear water is very attractive, even if there is unfortunately no bathing area in the town. Shops and restaurants do their job brilliantly,

Located at the entrance to the "Canale di Sale", the fishiest stretch of Lake Iseo, Peschiera Maraglio is one of the most important fishing centers and a renowned tourist resort, particularly on holidays. At the end of the nineteenth century the fishermen of Peschiera Maraglio fished for trout in Lake Iseo with the "clear net 250 meters long, 60 meters wide and costing three thousand lire" (Rosa, 1892) as in Sarnico (6 nets), Castro (1 goal), Predore (2 goals). Famous are the "aole di Monte Isola", roach or avole that the decree of 23 October 1601 of the Council of Forty allowed fishing only in the months of June and July as it prohibited fishing for pilchards from 10 June to 25 July, feloppini (sardelle young), courini and pendants in the months of September, October and November, while it allowed fishing in marshy areas only in Lent and the use of bezzotte and brozzoli (bag nets) from December to Easter. The neighborhood of Peschiera Maraglio, on 20 June 1717, decided to "insist with the Senate of Venice so that, excluding the Lenten times, the prohibition on the use of the nets called rini, brozzere, sacole, introie, Saccolotti, and it was forbidden to remove the edges of the lake" (Rosa, 1892). The ministerial decree of 7 April 1868 approved a regulation for fishing in Lake Iseo which determined the name of the nets, their shape and the size of the mesh, prohibited the destruction of fish eggs together with the capture and sale of young fish ; this was followed by the law of 4 March 1877 for fishing in public waters and in private waters immediately adjacent to them; the Regulation of 13 June 1880 followed which gave rise to various protests because it neglected local conditions and contradicted the law which allowed the Provincial Councils to set the opening and closing times of fishing.
