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)

4. SITE DESCRIPTION

4.1 General site character

Habitat class	% Cover
N01	100.00
Total Habitat Cover	100

Other Site Characteristics

Los roques y las bajas presentes son el resultado de la erosión del acantilado costero próximo, conocido con el nombre de riscos de Tibajate, situados en el norte de la isla de El Hierro. La punta de Arelmo es el punto más saliente de dicho acantilado y se encuentra frente a los Roques de Salmor, donde destacan por su tamaño el roque Chico y el roque Grande. Al igual que ocurre en el resto de la isla, los fondos son rocosos y de origen volcánico. Su situación en la vertiente norte hace que estén a merced de los vientos alisios dominantes y otras inclemencias meteorológicas. A ello hay que unir su destacada e imponente orografía, lo que dificulta en gran medida su adecuada prospección.

4.2 Quality and importance

Extensión marina circundante a un conjunto de roques que cuenta con importantes colonias de aves marinas, entre las que destacan el petrel de Bulwer (Bulweria bulwerii), la pardela chica (Puffinus assimilis), el paíño europeo (Hydrobates pelagicus) y el paíño de Madeira (Oceanodroma castro).
