- 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)
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)
3.3 Other important species of flora and fauna (optional)
- Group: A = Amphibians, B = Birds, F = Fish, Fu = Fungi, I = Invertebrates, L = Lichens, M = Mammals, P = Plants, R = Reptiles
- CODE: for Birds, Annex IV and V species the code as provided in the reference portal should be used in addition to the scientific name

- NP: in case that a species is no longer present in the site enter: x (optional)
- 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)

Other Site Characteristics
| The site comprises coastal saltwater lagoons and marshlands formed around the mouth of Strymon river. The Delta region contains a variety of habitat types: off shore sand, islands and dunes, salt marshes, Tamarix shrub, grassland of freshwater marshes and reed beds along the river. There are not dykes to separate the wetland from reclaimed agricultural land, on which the principal crops are wheat, vines and olives. There are villages and towns near the wetland. |
4.2 Quality and importance
| The estuary of river Strymon is considered an important area for breeding and wintering of large bird population (waders and gulls) as well as for a very rich number of fish. It is also an important area for rare and threatened waterfowls, a principal migratrory route and a recovery station. Delta ecosystems are still intact. It is important as passage for migrants, particularly waders and gulls. The reference on Platycnemis pennipes is about the subspecies Platycnemis pennipes pennipes. The protection of dragonflies (Odonata) and their biotopes. Council of Europe. The site is moderately degraded due to human activities. However, it hosts suitable habitats (large still water bodies, lakes, swamps) for the Odonata species (Lindenia tetraphylla) that should be present there. The species was not found during the field. They have also been recorded four species of Annex IV reptiles, one amphibian species of Annex V. |
