- PF: for the habitat types that can have a non-priority as well as a priority form (6210, 7130, 9430) enter "X" in the column PF to indicate the priority form.
- NP: in case that a habitat type no longer exists in the site enter: x (optional)
- Cover: decimal values can be entered
- Caves: for habitat types 8310, 8330 (caves) enter the number of caves if estimated surface is not available.
- Data quality: G = 'Good' (e.g. based on surveys); M = 'Moderate' (e.g. based on partial data with some extrapolation); P = 'Poor' (e.g. rough estimation)
3.2 Species referred to in Article 4 of Directive 2009/147/EC and listed in Annex II of Directive 92/43/EEC and site evaluation for them
- Group: A = Amphibians, B = Birds, F = Fish, I = Invertebrates, M = Mammals, P = Plants, R = Reptiles
- S: in case that the data on species are sensitive and therefore have to be blocked for any public access enter: yes
- NP: in case that a species is no longer present in the site enter: x (optional)
- Type: p = permanent, r = reproducing, c = concentration, w = wintering (for plant and non-migratory species use permanent)
- Unit: i = individuals, p = pairs or other units according to the Standard list of population units and codes in accordance with Article 12 and 17 reporting (see reference portal)
- Abundance categories (Cat.): C = common, R = rare, V = very rare, P = present - to fill if data are deficient (DD) or in addition to population size information
- Data quality: G = 'Good' (e.g. based on surveys); M = 'Moderate' (e.g. based on partial data with some extrapolation); P = 'Poor' (e.g. rough estimation); VP = 'Very poor' (use this category only, if not even a rough estimation of the population size can be made, in this case the fields for population size can remain empty, but the field "Abundance categories" has to be filled in)
3.3 Other important species of flora and fauna (optional)
- Group: A = Amphibians, B = Birds, F = Fish, Fu = Fungi, I = Invertebrates, L = Lichens, M = Mammals, P = Plants, R = Reptiles
- CODE: for Birds, Annex IV and V species the code as provided in the reference portal should be used in addition to the scientific name
- S: in case that the data on species are sensitive and therefore have to be blocked for any public access enter: yes
- NP: in case that a species is no longer present in the site enter: x (optional)
- Unit: i = individuals, p = pairs or other units according to the standard list of population units and codes in accordance with Article 12 and 17 reporting, (see reference portal)
- Cat.: Abundance categories: C = common, R = rare, V = very rare, P = present
- Motivation categories: IV, V: Annex Species (Habitats Directive), A: National Red List data; B: Endemics; C: International Conventions; D: other reasons

Other Site Characteristics
Roque costero completamente aislado de tierra debido al retroceso de la costa por la erosión marina. Se constituye de coladas basálticas apiladas, muy alteradas por la erosión, bien visibles en los abruptos cantiles costeros.
El interés onírico de este roque queda reflejado con la presencia de especies amenazadas como la pardela chica (Puffinus assimilis baroli), el petrel de Bulwer (Bulweria bulwerii) y el paiño de Madeira (Oceanodroma castro). Es además un lugar clásico de observación de garza real (Ardea cinerea), una especie que si bien en el pasado se tiene constacia que nidificaba en Canarias, en la actualidad no se ha podido confirmar.
La vegetación del roque se compone de tabaibas, cardones y comunidades halófilas costeras. Sobresale la presencia de algún endemismo amenazado, como la simpreviva, Limonium imbricatum.
El roque no está habitado ni registra conocidos, como no sea la perniciosa práctica esporádica de lanzamiento de fuegos artificiales en alguna de las fiestas de Garachico. En su cúspide se yergue una cruz metálica. El acceso no es fácil, sobre todo cuando el mar no es bueno, lo cual ha favorecido el asentamiento de una avifauna de importancia a escasa distancia del pueblo. |
4.2 Quality and importance
El roque de Garachico es un elemento geomorfológico destacado, de notoria relevancia paisajística. Su fauna y flora cuentan con especies amenazadas, además de algunas especies migratorias. |
