The birth of the island has closed one part of the sea, that originally was open and now, as there is no current necessity of its changing, the water has become stagnant, with a higher-than-normal temperature.
Between Capo Lilibeo and Birgi peninsula there is the Islands of Stagnone which are the part of the regional nature Reserve.
The lagoon was formed relatively recently (It did not exist at the time of the Phoenician colonization of Mozia) as a result of sand movements due to undercurrents.
