• 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)

• 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)

Other Site Characteristics

Antigua albufera colmatada, hoy día constituye uno de los marjales más interesantes de la costa valenciana. Está delimitado, por el norte y por el sur por dos ríos, "Bullent" y "Molinell",que contribuyen a su alimentación hídrica, y surcado por numerosos canales y acequias.

4.2 Quality and importance

El marjal de Pego y Oliva destaca por la cantidad y calidad de agua dulce de que se surte, lo que resulta excepcional en la costa mediterránea española. Estas características dan lugar a la existencia en la zona de hábitats extraordinariamente raros y para cuyo mantenimiento es imprescindible la conservación de la zona. Su interés para las aves motivo su inclusión en el Convenio Internacional de Ramsar. También alberga una de las mejores poblaciones naturales de samaruc. No obstante, y a pesar además de su carácter de espacio natural protegido, recientemente ha sufrido graves alteraciones con el fin de su puesta en cultivo, alteraciones que han afectado al 70 % de la zona húmeda y que han provocado notables descensos en la nidificación de numerosas especies de interés.
