Other Site Characteristics

Constituição geológica peculiar, observando-se alguns morros vulcânicos de origem recente, formados por cinzas e areões; abundantes formações calcário-arenosas. A costa é constituída por arribas rochosas muito elevadas que caem a pique; existem várias grutas e enseadas de calhau ao nível do mar.

4.2 Quality and importance

Estão presentes várias plantas endémicas, assim como algumas aves protegidas em convenções internacionais. Destaque paraa presença de Lobo-marinho (Monachus monachus). Outras espécies de plantas são referidas pela sua importância na estrutura do ecossistema, e.g. Ilex canariensis, Myrica faya. Adicionalmente, é incluído um táxon endémico da Macaronésia (Canárias e Madeira), Juniperus turbinata ssp. canariensis, o qual está fortemente ameaçado de extinção na Madeira.

6.3 Conservation measures (optional)

Está em curso nesta área o projeto LIFE12 NAT/PT/000195 LIFE RECOVER NATURA - Recuperação de espécies e habitats terrestres dos sítios da Rede Natura 2000 da Ponta de São Lourenço e Ilhas Desertas, no qual estão a decorrer diversa ações com vista ao estudo da biologia, etologia, área de distribuição e medidas de conservação das espécies prioritárias, a eliminação ou redução dos efetivos de animais e plantas com impacto negativo sobre as espécies endémicas (flora exótica, coelhos, ratos, murganhos e gatos) e a eliminação da linha elétrica aérea existente na área de Rede Natura 2000. Um outro projeto em curso é LIFE 13 NAT/ES/000974 - Madeira Lobo-marinho cujo objetivo geral é consolidar o trabalho de conservação do lobo-marinho na RAM e aplicar novas técnicas testadas na maior colónia de lobos-marinhos do mundo, na Mauritânia, para uma monitorização mais eficaz desta população. As ações deste projeto passam por: melhorar e promover o bom funcionamento da rede de informação, emergência e de intervenção rápida – a rede SOS lobo-marinho; entender melhor a interação com a pesca e as atividades de turismo na Madeira; limpar o lixo marinho de grutas e praias e criar um forte apoio da opinião pública e sensibilização para envolver os cidadãos na conservação da espécie.
