- 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
- 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)
- 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)
- Cat.: Abundance categories: C = common, R = rare, V = very rare, P = present
- Motivation categories: IV, V: Annex Species (Habitats Directive), A: National Red List data; B: Endemics; C: International Conventions; D: other reasons

Other Site Characteristics
Marine reptiles: The site includes the coastal marine area (up to the 50m isobath) from the entrance of Argostoli Gulf until Mounta Bay to the south-easternmost point of the island. It also includes the beach and the dunes of Mounta beach.Marine habitats (subregion: PARAKTIA THALASSIA ZONI APO ARGOSTOLI EOS ORMO MOUNTA): In 2015, the site was extended to include the marine area between Vlachata and Mounta bay, where numerous caves, shallow reefs and extensive Posidonia beds occur. The area was also extended 2nm off coast to comprise ecologically important and vulnerable rhodolith beds and coralligenous formations. |
4.2 Quality and importance
The area contains beaches important for the reproduction of the loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta), with Mounta beach being the most turtle-frequented. Marine habitats (subregion: PARAKTIA THALASSIA ZONI APO ARGOSTOLI EOS ORMO MOUNTA): Following Posidonia oceanica’s lower limit distribution (~36m depth), rhodolith beds (deep counterpart of Habitat Type 1110) predominate on the circalittoral sedimentary bottoms of this site. Very particular and extensive horizontal coralligenous formations (“coralligenous platforms”) also occur at depths exceeding 35m. Caves and semi-submerged caves (Habitat Type 8330) exist along the rocky coasts between Lourdata and Mounta bay, several of which of breeding importance for the monk seal Monachus monachus. Soft rocks of Lourda bay are home to a very particular endolithic biodiversity. |
