| Σχόλιο για τις αξίες | The combination of coastal forest, dunes and lake in this study site consists an important ecosystem with a rich flora and fauna. At the beach between Kaiafa and Zacharo, dunes in good state are developed. Pancratium maritimum, which is included in section 3.3 with the motivation D, is a species whose populations have been considerably reduced along the Greek coasts.The adventitive xenophyte of tropical origin, Saccharum spontaneum has recently been found in the area. The reed belts, Tamarix forests and the stands with mats and the endangered aquatic species Cladium mariscus are very significant biotopes for food and quarters for aquatic birds. The value of these biotopes has become more significant after the draining of the coastal lake Agoulinitsa which existed just to the north until the early 1970's. There are some non-bird vertebrate animal taxa recorded in this area. Some of them are mentioned in Annex II of the Directive 92/43/EEC. Caretta caretta has found a very good nesting beach where a number of 53-99 nests per reproductive season have been counted; this value corresponds to 7 nests/km/season and it exceeds the figure of 5 nests/km/season which is considered the lower limit for the characterization of a sandy beach as important for the nesting of Caretta caretta. Some Other Important Species have also been evaluated according to the motivation system used in sections 3.3. All are protected by the Bern Convention and for this reason they are indicated by the motivation C. The snake Natrix natrix and the two shrews Crocidura suaveolens and Sorex minutus are marked with motivation D since they are included in the species lists of the Greek Presidential Decree 67/1981. Sorex minutus also receives the D motivation since this site is the southernmost known area of its distribution in Europe. Finally, this site (especially Lake Kaiafa) is also known for its avifauna including rare and threatened species (Netta rufina, Falco peregrinus, Cisticola juncidis, Podiceps nigricollis and others) and because of this notable bird fauna, the area of this lake has been designated an EC Important Bird Area. |

| Τρωτότητα | At Zacharo beach an arbitrary settlement passing the summer has been already formed and the neighbouring area has been ceded to the village to be used as a camping ground. The unorganized residence at the sandy beaches as well as in the forest Strofilia disturbs and degrades these zones. This has as an effect the influence of the pine trees from some diseases with the danger of their decay. The forest has been degraded from overgrazing. The area of the lake is seriously degraded and alteration of the natural environment has been observed. The alteration of the water quality is due to its pollution from tourist activities, illegal camping and pollution from the sulphate water of the curative springs (incidents of mass death of fish has been often observed). The reed beds and wet meadows have been strongly influenced by embankment and deepening for the conversion of the lake into a "marina". The brackish waters with the community Ruppietea and the aquatic species Cladium mariscus are strongly endangered. Nesting of Caretta caretta on the sandy beach of this site is strongly influenced by various human activities. Also, shooting is a threat to the migratory and other birds of the area. |
