Akyatan Wildlife Development Area Situated within the boundaries of the Karataş district, the Akyatan Wildlife Development Area and RAMSAR Area was designated as a "Wildlife Protection and Production Area" by the General Directorate of Nature Conservation and National Parks in 1987. In 2005, the area was officially renamed to "Wildlife Development Area" following a decision made by the Council of Ministers. Akyatan Lagoon is the largest lagoon in Adana, providing an essential habitat for a wide variety of water birds.

The lagoon is home to numerous bird species, including the Francolin, Purple Gallinule, Thick-Knee, Marbled Teal, Snowy Plover, Vanellus Spinosus, and Little Tern.
