| Σχόλιο για τις αξίες | Taking into consideration that:a. This area is one of the few wetlands still existing in the island of Kerkyra; b. The sand dune and salt marsh vegetation types are well developed and conserved; c. Tourism and related activities have taken over almost the majority of the sandy beaches on the island. It is evident that this area should be protected and managed in an alternative way according to the principles of sustainable development (ecotourism, traditional agriculture and stock raising, etc.). Lastly, it should be stressed that such areas seem to be significant as "refuges" not only for birds and other animal species, but also plant species (e.g. Orchidaceae). It is believed that several plant species of the ground flora of big olive plantations existing on the island have only survived in such open habitats. This is because weedkillers are widely used in order to facilitate collection of the fallen olives. Relatively few data are available on the vertebrate taxa (other than birds) existing at this site. The colubrid snake Elaphe quatuorlineata is mentioned in Annex II of the Directive 92/43 EEC (see section 3.2). The remaining vertebrate taxa recorded from this site have been evaluated as "Other Important Species" (section 3.3). All of them have been mentioned by the Bern Convention and therefore receive the C motivation. Moreover, the above taxa (with the exception of the lizard Ablepharus kitaibelii) have been included in the lists of the Greek Presidential Decree 67/1981 and so deserve the D motivation. The toad Bufo viridis and the lizard Ablepharus kitaibelii have been evaluated by the CORINE-Biotopes Project (motivation D). Additionally, the lizard Algyroides nigropunctatus is eligible for motivation D as it is Balkan endemics. The main zoological value of this site is confined to its avifauna consisting of resident and migratory bird taxa. It should be noted that the island of Kerkyra lies in the major western route used by migratory birds in Greece. These factors justify the characterization of this site as one of the EC Important Bird Areas. The invertebrate species listed in section 3.3 with motivation C are protected by the Bern Convention. The invertebrate species listed in section 3.3 with motivation D are protected by the Greek Presidential Decree 67/1981. Anthocharis damone is also included in the IUCN Red List. Additionally, Heodes alciphron is included in the IUCN Red List. Pieris ergane is also included in the "Listing of biotopes in Europe according to their significance for invertebrates". Saturnia pyri is protected by the IUCN Red List and the European Red List of Globally Threatened Animals and Plants and it is included in the "Listing of biotopes in Europe according to their significance for invertebrates". |

| Τρωτότητα | The stoppage of the salt works operation in 1988 unfortunately did not promote the ecological upgrading of the area. Since then, the abandoned wetland and it's margins (sandy beaches and hills) have become a centre for the development of human activities, with negative impacts on the ecosystems ( rubbish, tipping, sewage, dumping, water pollution, building and other activities related to the growth of the islands tourism, deforestation , etc.). The pressure for more and more tourist installations and facilities is very high and the island's population is very often ignorant of the value of natural ecosystems and hence does not ensure their protection. Many human activities act on the fauna of this site. Intense illegal and legal hunting, the building of tourist and other settlements, water and soil pollution from sewage, are the main activities leading to the direct and indirect destruction of the wetland and its fauna. |
