The Flói Bird Reserve was established in 1997 when the local district of Eyrarbakki (which later became Árborg) and BirdLife Iceland signed an agreement on the restoration of wetlands east of the river Ölfusá. In the spring of that year BirdLife Iceland received its first grant from the Environmental Fund for Trade, and since then a great deal of effort has gone into reclaiming wetlands and developing facilities for birdwatchers. It is only the second wetland reclamation project of its kind in Iceland. The Flói Bird Reserve is an excellent example of a successful partnership between the local authorities, non-profit organisations and a conservation fund.
