Located on the eastern coast of Maden Island at Ayvalık Municipality, the small wetland is fed by the precipitation and a small stream. The same stream also feeds AYV009. Next to the wetland is an old minery building and the depression area of the wetland might have been formed by humans. Affects of grazing are visible around the site. 1410 Mediterranean salt meadows (Juncetalia maritimi) is the habitat type recorded. The pond is also a breeding site for Odonats.
