  • 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)

Other Site Characteristics

Dune costiere a vegetazione psammofila. Il sito è una delle poche aree costiere sabbiose del versante jonico calabrese in cui si conserva ancora il complesso di vegetazione delle dune costiere, che seppur altamente degradato, conserva gran parte degli elementi caratterizzanti la serie psammofila tipica delle dune costiere. Lentroterra è scarsamente urbanizzato e caratterizzato da aree collinari la cui vegetazione forestale potenziale è quali interamente scomparsa e sostituita da praterie xeriche e garighe. Sulle dune si segnala la tipica serie di vegetazione che nei punti più prossimi al mare è rappresentata dal Salsolo-Cakiletum aegyptiacae, costituito da esemplari sparsi di Cakile maritima e Salsola kali. Procedendo verso linterno si rinvengono, a volte in modo discontinuo, lo Sporobolo arenarii-Agropyretum juncei (con Agropyron junceum, Sporobolus pungens, Otanthus maritimus) e lEchinophoro spinosae-Ammophiletum arenariae (con Echinophora spinosa, Medicago marina). Il consolidamento delle dune più vecchie (dune grigie) è favorito da comunità di muschi e licheni, che tendono a formare un tappeto continuo. Su questi substrati si rinvengono nel sito le comunità caratterizzate dalla presenza di Ephedra distachya, descritte come Helichryso italici-Ephedretum distachyae Géhu et al. 1987 nellordine Crucianelletalia maritimae Sissingh 1974.

4.2 Quality and importance

Nel sito è stata segnalata la presenza di Hypecoum imberbe S.et S. (vulnerabile VU), dato da confermare. Segnalazione di nidificazione recente di Caretta caretta.
