The fluvial vegetation is characterized from interesting aquatic species stalks and floating leaves. Thanks to the particular ecological conditions, in rare the various Fiumefreddo lives igrofile species or absent in the rest of the Island like the Ranunculus penicillatus, the Cyperus papyrus papyrus ssp. Siculus and the Polygonum salicifolium. The fauna for 65% is composed from nest and migratory birds.
