• Type: p = permanent, r = reproducing, c = concentration, w = wintering (for plant and non-migratory species use permanent)

• 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

En la zona predominan los fondos arenosos con algunas zonas rocosas de abrupto relieve. La plataforma es estrecha, alcanzando más de 500 metros de profundidad a escasa distancia de la costa. su localización al SW de la isla la protege del viento dominante, reinando las buenas condiciones climáticas y temperaturas suaves. en la costa alternan las calas con playas arenosas o de cantos con los acantilados de mediana y gran altura.

4.2 Quality and importance

Las especiales condiciones de aguas cálidas y tranquilas durente gran parte del año unido a las grandes profundidades que se alcanzan cerca de la costa, ofrecen unas características inigualables para la presencia de poblaciones de numerosas especies de cetáceos. En este sentido, es una de las dos mejores zonas de distribución de Tursiops truncatus de Canarias. Del resto de cetáceos, algunas especies mantienen poblaciones residentes a lo largo del año, mientras que el resto visitan la zona por motivos reproductivos o alimenticios. Por otro lado, es un área vital para la tortuga boba, ya que se trata de una zona de descanso y termorregulación para Caretta caretta en Canarias, cuya población se estima en varios centenares de ejemplares, pudiendo ser observadas grandes concentraciones en su paso migratorio por la zona. Además existe un sebadal de alto interés, presentando un especial interés para el mantenimiento de la presencia de peces pelágicos de gran porte.
