- 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
| The lagoon of Moustos is a wetland dominated by the main lagoon. Smaller lagoons and salt marshes extend to the north and the south of the site. Sand-dunes cross the coastline. The surrounding vegetation is composed of typical phrygana while there are spots including Tamarix spp., and groves of Olea europaea. Geologically, the area's substrate belongs to the Olonos-Pindos zone. The salinity of the lagoon varies between 11-25. Its depth is about 5 m and its margins consist of sand mixed with pebbles. |
4.2 Quality and importance
| The area is very important for resting and nesting birds, especially migratory species. Amongst the various elements of the bird-fauna the threatened ("Vulnerable") heron Ardea purpurea is particularly noteworthy. The area in question is used for fish-farming, and could also be used for scientific, educational and recreational purposes. According to the available data, only some fish, amphibian and reptilian taxa are known to occur in this site. The tortoise Testudo marginata although was introduced in Sardinia is virtually a Greek and southern Albanian endemic species. The presence of this taxon in the area concerned is remarkable since the habitats preferred by this animal are usually at higher altitudes. Moreover, the toad Bufo viridis has been evaluated by the CORINE-Biotopes Project while the lizard Ophiomorus punctatissimus has a very restricted distribution area in Europe, confined to the southern Greek mainland. Thus, both species have an additional reason to receive motivation D. |
