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)

4.1 General site character

Habitat class	% Cover
N01	100.00
Total Habitat Cover	100

Other Site Characteristics

Extensa área marinha maioritariamente localizada dentro das águas territoriais, com uma distância máxima à costa de cercade 30km. É uma área influenciada pela sua localização próxima do estuário do Rio Tejo, que potencialmente pode criar condições para elevados índices de produtividade biológica. A área marinha costeira parece ser igualmente influenciada pelas condições de vento criadas pela Serra de Sintra.

4.2 Quality and importance

Durante os períodos de migração e invernada surgem ao longo da costa continental portuguesa inúmeras espécies migradoras marinhas, que usam a área desta ZPE em particular como área de passagem mas também como área de descanso e alimentação. Algumas espécies usam a área durante grande parte do ano, tal como acontece com Alcatraz Morus bassanus e a Pardela das Baleares Puffinus mauritanicus. Esta área adquire particular importância para esta última espécie, cujos indivíduos podem ser observados quer em passagem para norte / sul quer em movimentos mais curtos, bem como em jangadas relativamente próximo de costa que atingiram em algumas contagens cerca de 4000 indivíduos em Setembro e Outubro (Moore dados não publicados). Poot (2005), baseado em censos costeiros, demonstrou que a área entre Cascais e Guincho é usada ativamente por aves em alimentação bem como em descanso. A presença de aves em jangadas pode dever-se à proteçãodada pela costa dos ventos predominantes de noroeste. A costa de Lisboa, sendo parte da plataforma continental, é relativamente baixa (até ca. de 200m). Ocorre aqui uma produtividade relativamente elevada resultante do upwelling causado pela Eastern Boundary Current, que surge essencialmente nos meses de Verão. O aporte de sedimentos e nutrientes dorio Tejo pode contribuir para condições favoráveis à permanência das aves nesta área.
