3.1 Habitat types present on the site and assessment for them

Annex I Habitat types						Site assessment
Code	PF	NP	Cover [ha]	Cave [number]	Data quality	A|B|C|D	A|B|C
						Representativity	Relative Surface	Conservation	Global
1210			0	0.00	P	B	B	B	B

• 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)

Other Site Characteristics

Murter is an island in the Croatian part of the Adriatic in the northwest part of the Šibenik archipelago, separated from the mainland by a 20 m wide sea canal at Tisno. The island covers an area of about 18.7 km2 and the highest point is the peak of Raduč at 125 metres (410 feet) above sea level. The south-western coastline is predominantly steep slopes divided by many sandy coves. The island has lots of rocky beaches, as well as several sandy ones. Primary vegetation of the island of Murter is As. Quercion ilicis. Since olm oak forests have been destroyed in the past, degradation stages of maquis are present (mainly As. Myrto – Quercetum ilicis, but also Fraxino orni – Quercetum ilicis and Ostryo – Quercetum ilicis). As. Oleo – Ceratonion with Pistacio lentisci phoeniceae and Querco ilicis – Pinetum halepensis communities are developed on shielded position and on the slopes of the south to southwest exposed positions. Pseudo-steppe with grasses and annuals of the Thero-Brachypodietea are prevailing grassland type. On heavily degraded slopes on north As. Stipo – Salvietum officinalis is developed. The most valuable vegetation develops on various habitats close to the sea - Mediterranean and thermo-Atlantic halophilous scrubs (Sarcocornetea fruticosi). On rocks close to the sea As. Plantagini – Limonietum cancellati is developed.

4.2 Quality and importance

- the site is important for conservation of coastal rocks with endemic Limonium species, two types of halophytic vegetation and eumediterranean grasslands.
