| Σχόλιο για τις αξίες | The water quality is suitable for irrigation and fishing. The microfloristic composition of the lake Amvrakia seems unique, obviously due to the existing special physiochemical constants and geomorphology of the area. Many species of algae were recorded as occurring in Greece (Spartinou, 1992). Apart from cosmopolitan species that participate in the phytoplankton of the lake, some algae from North and Central Europe, America as well as tropical areas were found to exist.The western slopes of the lake are covered by dense natural vegetation (macquis) and presents a valuable ecosystem. The presence of the genus Viola at this site is an indication of a healthy and clean ecosystem. This area must be protected from fire and trampling, etc. Within the important plant species of this site the Greek endemic Silene ungeri and the Balkan endemic Gallium intricatum are noteworthy. All the rest of the plants listed in section 3.3 are of great interest from a chorological point of view, as they posses a limited or scattered distributon within Greece.Concerning the non-bird vertebrate fauna, several fish species are present in this lake, some of which are mentioned in Annex II of the Directive 92/43/EEC (see section 3.2). According to Economidis (pers. comm.) the Directive taxon Phoxinellus spp. is represented in Greece by the valid taxa Pseudophoxinus stymphalicus and Phoxinellus pleurobipunctatus. This lake is also improtant from ornithological aspect. Indeed it seems to be used by migratory birds (ducks, gulls, terns, waders, etc), among which threatened taxa occur (e.g., the "Endangered" Anser anser). The occurrence of large threatened birds of prey is also significant for example, Aquila chrysaetos and Hieraaetus fasciatus, both of which fall under the "Vulnerable" category. |

| Τρωτότητα | The main problem that confronts the lake Amvrakia is the reduction of its surface area. The balance of the lake has been influenced by the continuous irrigation of the surrounding fields. This results in the degradation of the littoral ecosystem especially in its northern part. The eutrophication of the littoral zones is a consequence of their loading with fertilizers and pesticides from the surrounding cultivated fields, but this does not seem to have reached a critical level yet. The village of Rivio pollutes the lake with unprocessed sewage. Overgrazing is also observed in this site, as well as at the drained northern part of the lake. The vegetation of Amvrakia has been strongly influenced by human activities. |
