I would say "salt marshes" or 'salt pans" for salinas and 'peat bogs' for turberas. Salinas are also known as 'salt flats'.



Salt Marshes
The southeast corner of the Camargue, near Salin-de-Giraud and the Grand Rhône are the salt marshes ("salins") of Salin de Giraud. Another salt marsh, the Salins du Midi, is located in the southwest corner, west of the Petit Rhône. In the salt marshes you'll see long lines of salt "mountains" drying in the Provencal sun, and the checkerboard salt-pans.

Salt production in the Camargue began in Antiquity, by both the Greeks and the Romans, and continued through the Middle ages. Salt was transported along the Mediterranean coast and then inland on the "Routes du Sel" (Salt Roads), up through the Vaucluse (see Fort de Buoux) or the mountains of the Alpes-Maritime across the Col de Tende (map) into Piedmont (see Escarène).


From March to September, seawater is pumped about 30 km across salt tables, to form a saturated solution of sodium chloride. The solution is then directed into 9-ha crystalising pans, about 12-cm deep. The solution evaporates all Winter and into the Summer. From the end of August until October, the salt crystals

The 2,000 hectares of salt-marshes (or salinas) and the surrounding tidal zones (5,000 hectares in all) are a Special Protected Area of the European Union and, in September 1995, became the latest of the 17 French Ramsar sites (the International Convention on the protection of Wetlands). They were placed under national protection in 1996.
