  • 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)

  • 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)

4.1 General site character

Habitat class % Cover
N01100.00

Total Habitat Cover

100

Other Site Characteristics

Espacio marino situado en el Mar Mediterráneo, al este de la Península Ibérica, frente a la costa de la provincia de Castellón. Alcanza una profundidad máxima cercana a los 20 metros en aguas situadas frente a la desembocadura del río Belcaire, ubicado en el municipio de Moncofa. El clima se caracteriza por presentar una elevada humedad relativa en el periodo estival y la existencia frecuente de regímenes de brisas marinas que durante todo el año provocan este aumento de la humedad, determinando un efecto amortiguador de las temperaturas. Toda la superficie marina del espacio se sitúa sobre la plataforma continental, como continuación de la cuenca neógeno-cuaternaria de Valencia. Se trata de una plataforma de notable espesor, formada por sedimentos no consolidados de carácter silicicoclástico que tapizan el sustrato rocoso, procedentes principalmente de cursos fluviales. Las masas de agua que bañan el LIC son aguas de origen atlántico, transformadas por procesos de evaporación, mezcla y convección.

4.2 Quality and importance

Área marina comprendida aproximadamente entre el sur del Port de Borriana, al norte, y el frente litoral de Almenara, al sur. La información de hábitats disponible grafía la existencia de praderas de Cymodocea y Posidonia de extensión variable en la costa situada entre las playas de Nules y Xilxes, a una profundidad entre -10 y -20 m.; la presencia de praderas hacia el sur -Almenara-es más rara y puntual. Esta misma información grafía la existencia de estos hábitats -sobre todo praderas de Cymodocea-- al norte de la zona propuesta, en el ámbito comprendido aproximadamente entre los puertos de Castelló y Borriana y en el cual se incluye la desembocadura del Millars.
