Sea cliffs, salt marshes and dune systems: determining the conservation status, drafting conservation measures and designing a monitoring system for habitats of community interest in Galicia
Project developed for the Xunta de Galicia, co-financed by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) at 75% under the Rural Development Programme 2014-2020.
The work consists of determining the conservation status, drafting conservation objectives and measures in each Special Area of Conservation and designing a monitoring system for habitat types of Community interest in subgroups 12, 13 and 14 (sea cliffs and marshes) and group 2 (dune systems) in Galicia..
The objective is to respond to the requirements of the Habitats Directive (DC 92/43/EEC) which establishes that the European Natura 2000 network must ensure that habitat types of Community interest are maintained or, where necessary, re-established in a favourable state of conservation, by establishing the necessary conservation measures.
Likewise, the Master Plan for the Natura 2000 network in Galicia, as the Natural Resources Management Plan that regulates the Natura 2000 network, establishes as priority management objectives for these protected areas to improve and complete the inventory of the natural habitat types of subgroups 12, 13, 14 (coastal cliffs and marshes) and group 2 (dune systems) in the Natura 2000 network in the coastal area, to define the current and favourable conservation status of these natural habitat types and to identify their main pressures and threats in the Natura 2000 sites in the coastal area; as well as identifying their main threat factors and establishing and developing a protocol for monitoring their conservation status; identifying and restoring marsh and dune habitats that have deteriorated to the point of discontinuity, recovering the structure and composition of their natural vegetation.
This work therefore aims to comply with these two basic regulations, the Habitats Directive and the Master Plan for the Natura 2000 network, as well as being the preliminary work for the design of specific management plans as part of the development of the Master Plan.
The project consists firstly of establishing the criteria and methodology for the identification of habitat types of Community interest in groups 2 (dune systems) and subgroups 12, 13 and 14 (coastal cliffs and salt marshes).
Secondly, an assessment of the conservation status of the habitat types concerned in the Natura 2000 sites is carried out, followed by the definition of conservation measures and objectives for the habitat types in each Natura 2000 site with significant presence.
Finally, the criteria for monitoring the conservation status of the habitat types of coastal cliffs, salt marshes and dune systems, the selection of the localities to be monitored and the proposal of associated monitoring protocols are defined.
The complete list of habitat types of Community interest in the project are:
