Σχόλιο για τις αξίες | The sea cliffs of the island form caves with beaches which consist ideal shelters for the monk seal population that breeds there. Eleonora's falcons and important sea-bird species (Puffinus puffinus, Phalacrocorax aristotelis) nest on the cliffs. The vernal pools are important for the migratory bird species and for rare species of plants, such as Isoetes duriei, Pilularia minuta, Crassula vaillanti, Myosurus sessilis ssp. heldreichi, and Lythrum borysthenicum. There still exist thickets of Quercus macrolepis, a species now rare in the Aegean. Pancratium maritimum, occurring at the sand beaches of the island, is in danger because of the destruction of its habitats in the Mediterranean. The presence of Melilotus elegans should be noted, since it is the first time it has been observed in Greece. The sea beds of Posidonia oceanica are in excellent condition. Finally, the geological interest of the island lies in the relicts of a petrified forest.OTHER IMPORTANT SPECIES WITH MOTIVATION DPlants (not referred in the above text):Anthemis cretica ssp. cretica is a Balkan endemic (it currently includes the species A. panachaica and A. meteorica which are included in the IUCN list of threatened plants as rare and are protected by the Greek Law -Presidential decree 67/81).Callitriche brutia is a European species, found only in Psathoura and Agios Efstratios in Greece.Anthemis werneri ssp. werneri included in the IUCN Red Data List (1993) in the category of threatened plants characterized as "indeterminate" and it is protected by the Greek Law (Presidential Decree 67/81).Note: The IUCN characterizations given concern the plant’s status in Greece. |

Τρωτότητα | Generally, the island is not intensely threatened by human activities. Most of the fields are abandoned, but grazing is uncontrolled, although not intense. The fishstocks of the area and Posidonia sea beds are threatened by trawling, practiced mainly by fishermen from N. Greece. Illegal fishing with dynamite and spear guns is also practiced.The coastal fishermen although they do not influence the fishstocks negatively, they hunt the monk seal because the animal causes damages to their nets. An earthquake in 1966 destroyed the village. Earthquakes constitute a danger for the structure of the monk seal shelters. In the neighbouring sea area there is a route for oil tankers. The risk of an accident and the consequent oil spill is a continuous threat for the area. |
