- 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
Former tidal estuary of the Rhine/Maas system, completely closed off from the Oosterschelde (028) in 1987. It also adjoins SPA Grevelingen (NL9802021) in the west, SPAs Haringvliet/ Hollands Diep (NL9802018-19) in the north, and is linked with the Zoommeer (NL9902010) via the Schelde-Rhine river connection (shipping lane to Antwerp). The 20-km long stagnant freshwater lake includes some islets, mudflats and former saltmarshes. Formerly named SPA Volkerakmeer. |
4.2 Quality and importance
An important site for breeding Recurvirostra avosetta, Charadriusalexandrinus (max. 184 pairs, 1989) and Sterna albifrons, but numbersare decreasing due to vegetation succession. The best breeding site forLarus melanocephalus in the Netherlands.Species meeting the 1% threshold (breeding): Avocet Recurvirostra avosetta (4%); (non-breeding): Great Crested Grebe Podiceps cristatus (2%); Great Cormorant Phalacrocorax carbo (1%); Eurasian Spoonbill Platalea leucorodia (7%); Mute Swan Cygnus olor (1%); Greylag Goose Anser anser (1%); Barnacle Goose Branta leucopsis (1%); Gadwall Anas strepera (6%); Northern Pintail Anas acuta (4%); Northern Shoveler Anas clypeata (5%); Tufted Duck Aythya fuligula (2%); Common Goldeneye Bucephala clangula (1%); Common Coot Fulica atra (1%); Avocet Recurvirostra avosetta (2%).One of the five most important sites for (breeding): Avocet Recuvirostra avosetta, Mediterranean Gull Larus malanocephalus, Little Tern Sterna albifrons; (non-breeding): Horned Grebe Podiceps auritus.The site regularly supports more than 20,000 wintering waterbirds: average peak number 81,548 (1991/92-1995/96).Site largely overlaps with IBA 026 (IBA2000). |
