- 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

Other Site Characteristics
| The almost circular bay of Navarino, accounts for approximately half of the surface area of this site. The western part of the bay is closed by the elongated island of Sfaktiria which has an orientation parallel to that of the opposite coast. This island is hilly, with a height of 106m, and has a calcareous substrate. A very characteristic vagetation of Juniperus phoenicea mixed with Euphorbia dendroides, Ruta chalepensis, Phlomis fruticosa and other phrygana species exists on this island. The entrance to the bay is at the southern edge of the site, and is partly, closed by the islet of Pylos, almost opposite the small town of the same name. To the north-west of the site, the coastal lagoon "Divari" of Pylos or of Gialova is situated. This is a shallow, brackish lake (with marshes), partly drying up in the summer. Around the lake, formations of mud- and sand-flats occur, mixed with salt marshes and salt forest of Tamarix species. Cliffs and rocky shores are present at the north of the lagoon, and give the appearance of being a continuation of the island of Sfaktiria. Well-developed sand-dunes occur between the lagoon and the sea-shore, and here healthy formations of Juniperus phoenicea and Platanus sp. grow. |
4.2 Quality and importance
| Significant formations of Juniperus phoenicea exist on the sand-dunes and calcareous rocky ecosystems of the island of Sfaktiria, where they may grow to a considerable height. The phrygana vegetation ecosystems around Pylos offer shelter to some very rare endemic plant taxa with significant phytogeographical and biological interest. Many noteworthy non-bird vertebrates are known to live in this site. Some reptiles are species of the Directive 92/43 EEC (Annex II) among which, Caretta caretta is a priority species (section 3.2). All seven taxa are protected by the Bern Convention and the Greek Presidential Decree 67/1981; C.caretta an "Endangered" species according to the Greek Red Data Book, is also protected by the CITES Convention, as well as, other Greek Presidential Decrees and Ministerial Decisions. The "closed" Pylos Gulf is probably used by this turtle as a favourable area for the lodging and development of juveniles and young, and for an adult feeding ground. However, the nesting activity in this site is low showing values smaller than 5 nests per km. Remarkable species is also the lacertid lizard Podarcis peloponnesiaca, which are endemic to Peloponnisos (motivation B), the legless skink lizard Ophiomorus punctatissimus which has the westernmost area of its distribution in Peloponnisos (it occurs only in S.Greece and SW Turkey) (motivation D). Most taxa of these two sections are moreover listed in the catalogue of the Greek Presidential Decree 67/1981 (motivation D); exceptions concern Ophisaurus apodus, Ablepharus kitaibelii, Eryx jaculus. The invertebrate species listed in section 3.3 with motivation D are protected by the Greek Presidential Decree 67/1981. |
