3.1 Habitat types present on the site and assessment for them

Annex I Habitat types						Site assessment
Code	PF	NP	Cover [ha]	Cave [number]	Data quality	A|B|C|D	A|B|C
						Representativity	Relative Surface	Conservation	Global
1110			7418.98	0.00	G	C	C	C	C
1170			1402.09	0.00	G	C	C	B	B

• 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.

• 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)

4. SITE DESCRIPTION

Back to top

4.1 General site character

Habitat class	% Cover
N01	100.00
Total Habitat Cover	100

Other Site Characteristics

El área se caracteriza por la presencia de una amplia plataforma marina de fondos someros (menos de 30 metros de profundidad) y arenosos. Su localización al sur de la isla la protege del mar y el viento dominante, reinando la buenas condiciones climáticas y temperaturas suaves. En la costa alternan las playas arenosas o de cantos con los acantilados de altura media y las únicas áreas intermareales encharcadas del Sur y Oeste de la isla, el área a proteger se separa a una distancia de la costa de 300 m.

4.2 Quality and importance

Este área se encuentra situada a sotavento de la isla de Gran Canaria, por lo que las condiciones de mar y viento son excelentes a lo largo del año, lo que favorece el desarrollo de una variado número de ecosistemas. Por otra parte, la plataforma submamrina alcanza aquí su máxima extensión, siendo una de las áreas más productivas de Canarias. Este último hecho ha permitido el establecimiento de hábitats de interés como los sebadales o la de poblaciones de especies de interés comunitario. Así, es una zona importante para el descanso, termoregulación y alimentación de Caretta caretta en Canarias. Además es un importante punto de alimentación y descanso estacional para diversas especies de grandes peces pelágicos, y de grandes y medianos cetáceos, destacando la presencia de Tursiops truncatus.
