Total Habitat Cover

Other Site Characteristics

Ligikaudu 2430 ha suurune Uhtju loodusala asub Soome lahes. Loodusala on moodustatud eesmärgiga kaitsta kahe kaitsealuse loomaliigi, hall- ja viigerhülge elupaiku. Loodusalale jäävad Uhtju saared - Põhja-Uhtju ja Lõuna-Uhtju asuvad Soome lahes, rannikust 13-14 km kaugusel. Loodusala hõlmab mõlemat saart ja neid ümbritsevat veeala. Lõuna-Uhtjul puittaimestik puudub, Põhja-Uhtjul on hõre puistu. Lindudest pesitseb saartel alk, hõbekajakas ja hahk.

4.2 Quality and importance

Uhtju loodusalal esinevad elupaigatüübid on väga hea esinduslikkusega karid (1170) ja väikesaared ning laiud (1620). Mitmekesine mereala on heaks elupaigaks kaitsealusele hallhülgele (Halichoerus grypus) ja viigerhülgele (Phoca hispida bottnica).Uhtju looduskaitsealaUhtju looduskaitseala asub Lääne-Virumaal Vihula valla haldusalas. Sala (Lõuna-Uhtju) saar võeti kaitse alla 1938. aastal taimede ja lindude kaitseks (1969 võeti saared kaitse alla maastiku üksikelemendina, 2001 kinnitati uued eeskirjad). Kaitseala moodustati peamise eesmärgiga kaitsta kaht II kategooria kaitsealust loomaliiki, hall- ja viigerhülge elupaika, kuid väärtuslikud on saared ka maastikulisest ja ornitoloogilisest seisukohast. Uhtju saared - Põhja-Uhtju ja Lõuna-Uhtju asuvad Soome lahes, rannikust 13-14 km kaugusel. Kaitseala hõlmab mõlemat saart ja neid ümbritsevat veeala. Lõuna-Uhtjul puittaimestik puudub, Põhja-Uhtjul esineb mändi ja pihlakat. Lindudest pesitseb saartel nt alk, hõbekajakas ja hahk. Kaitseala pindala on 2443,3 ha.
