List the names and addresses of the bodies others than those mentioned above under point 3 that contributed to the present report by providing information and data. N/A II. Legal and/or administrative measures taken under the terms of the Protocol 5. To protect, preserve and manage marine and coastal areas with a particular natural or cultural value, and to protect, preserve and manage endangered or threatened species of marine and coastal fauna and flora (article 3); Indicate what legislation has been promulgated or what administrative measures have been taken during the period under review to protect, preserve and manage marine and coastal areas considered of particular natural or cultural value and to protect, preserve and manage threatened or endangered marine and coastal species. During the biennial 3/2003-3/2007, the following legislation has been drafted, UNEP(DEPI)/MED WG.308/3 Annex III Page 4 mainly designation of new protected areas, the major part of them in coastal areas. • Decision of the Council of Minister’s No. 682, dated 02.11.2005 “On the designation of Buna River and wetland areas around it as Protected Landscape” covering an area of 23027 ha of which 346 ha of wetland area; • Decision of the Council of Minister’s No. 684, date 02.11.2005 “On the designation of Shkodra Lake area – Managed Nature Reserve” covering an area of 26535 ha; • Decision of the Council of Minister’s no. 693, dated 10.11.2005 “On the designation of Butrinti as National Park with extended area” extending the NP area from 2509 ha to 8591,2 of which 2509 ha is sea area; • Law “On biodiversity protection” no.9587, dated 20.07.2006; For the management of the coastal areas there is a big efforts made through the WB project for the Integrated Coastal Zone Management, concentrated mostly on the South of Albanian (Jonian coast). Also there are two management plans approved, ones for Narta wetland areas and the other for the National Park of Llogora and Karaburun. Efforts are made for the management plan of Butrinti National Park area and Kune-Vaini wetland system. 6. To establish marine and coastal specially protected areas (article 5); Indicate what legal and/or administrative measures have been adopted and/or implemented during the period under review to establish marine and coastal specially protected areas. During the reporting period the third Ramsar site was designated in Albania namely: • Decision of the Council of Minister’s No. 683, dated 02.11.2005 “On the designation of the wetland complex of Shkodra Lake and the territory of Buna river as a Specially Protected Area and its inclusion in the list of wetland of international importance, especially as waterfowl habitat” covering an area of 49562 ha of which 15719 ha is water and 346 ha is wetland area. Albanian legislation just recognizes the category of special protected areas on the national legislation so we for the moment identify with the protected areas category the SPA. The answer in point 6 can be considered. 7. To provide protection (article 6) : Indicate what legal and/or administrative measures have been taken during the period under review to apply the provisions of article 6 of the protocol within the specially protected areas, and in particular the measures concerning: a) Strengthening the application of the other Protocols to the Convention and of other relevant treaties to which they are Parties (article 6 a); b) Prohibiting the dumping or discharge of wastes liable to harm the protected areas (article 6 b) ; c) Regulating the passage of ships (article 6 c) ; UNEP(DEPI)/MED WG.308/3 Annex III Page 5 d) Regulating the introduction of species (article 6 d) ; e) Regulating activities (article 6 e), 6 h) ; f) Regulating scientific research activities (article 6 f) ; g) Regulating fishing, hunting, the taking of animals, and the harvesting of plants as well as the trade in animals or parts of animals, of plants or parts of plants coming from the protected areas. The following legislative and administrative measures were taken during the reporting biennium, respectively: • The introduction for the first time in the Albanian legislation (June 2006) of the Specially Protected Areas and species concept in the text of the Law “On biodiversity protection”. • Regulation of the introduction of the species and regulation of scientific research activities (including marine and coastal areas) – The law “On biodiversity protection” no. 9587, dated 20.07.2006 provides dispositions related to both issues. • Regulation of hunting and taking of animals – Regulation No. 1, dated 23.02.2005 “On the management, protection of wild fauna and hunting procedures” of the Minister of Agriculture and Food, provides detailed dispositions on both issues and it lists in its Annexes the updated list of Strictly Protected Fauna Species in Albania as well as prohibited methods of hunting. 8. Concerning planning, management supervision and monitoring of the specially protected areas (article 7); Indicate and briefly describe what legal and/or administrative measures have been taken during the period under review to plan, manage and control the specially protected areas. An official plan for the increasing the surface of protected areas in the period 2006-2011 is approved by the Minister of Environment, Forests and Water Administration, identifying all new PA-s some of which are coastal areas such as the enlargement of Divjake-Karavasta National Park. The figure is expected to go up to 14 % in order to be compared with EU requirement. However there are still no plans for the designation of marine protected areas. Referring to the management plans it is important to underline the elaboration and of the first three management plans for PA-s, one of which is the Protected Landscape of the wetland complex Vjose-Narte. The setting-up of the management committees for some PA-s, a major part of which are coastal PA-s is another development to be noticed. Monitoring has continued on the flora and fauna of coastal lagoons by the Museum of Natural Sciences, the Institute of Biological Research and the Botanical Garden. 9. For the protection and conservation of species (article 11); Indicate what legal and/or administrative measures have been taken during the period under review to apply the measures under article 11 of the Protocol, in particular UNEP(DEPI)/MED WG.308/3 Annex III Page 6 measures aimed at regulating or prohibiting : a)the taking, possession,, killing, trade, transport and exhibition for commercial purposes of protected species of fauna, their eggs, parts and products, b) the disturbance of wild fauna during critical biological periods and c) the destruction

  • Appendix K. Survey and Manage Species Persistence Evaluation
    Appendix K. Survey and Manage Species Persistence Evaluation Establishment of the 95-foot wide construction corridor and TEWAs would likely remove individuals of H. caeruleus and modify microclimate conditions around individuals that are not removed. The removal of forests and host trees and disturbance to soil could negatively affect H. caeruleus in adjacent areas by removing its habitat, disturbing the roots of host trees, and affecting its mycorrhizal association with the trees, potentially affecting site persistence. Restored portions of the corridor and TEWAs would be dominated by early seral vegetation for approximately 30 years, which would result in long-term changes to habitat conditions. A 30-foot wide portion of the corridor would be maintained in low-growing vegetation for pipeline maintenance and would not provide habitat for the species during the life of the project. Hygrophorus caeruleus is not likely to persist at one of the sites in the project area because of the extent of impacts and the proximity of the recorded observation to the corridor. Hygrophorus caeruleus is likely to persist at the remaining three sites in the project area (MP 168.8 and MP 172.4 (north), and MP 172.5-172.7) because the majority of observations within the sites are more than 90 feet from the corridor, where direct effects are not anticipated and indirect effects are unlikely. The site at MP 168.8 is in a forested area on an east-facing slope, and a paved road occurs through the southeast part of the site. Four out of five observations are more than 90 feet southwest of the corridor and are not likely to be directly or indirectly affected by the PCGP Project based on the distance from the corridor, extent of forests surrounding the observations, and proximity to an existing open corridor (the road), indicating the species is likely resilient to edge- related effects at the site.

  • Blood Mushroom
    Bleeding-Tooth Fungus Hydnellum Peckii Genus: Hydnellum Family: Bankeraceae Also known as: Strawberries and Cream Fungus, Bleeding Hydnellum, Red-Juice Tooth, or Devil’s Tooth. If you occasionally enjoy an unusual or weird sight in nature, we have one for you. Bleeding-Tooth Fungus fits this description with its strange colors and textures. This fungus is not toxic, but it is considered inedible because of its extremely bitter taste. Hydnoid species of fungus produce their spores on spines or “teeth”; these are reproductive structures. This fungus “bleeds” bright red droplets down the spines, so that it looks a little like blood against the whitish fungus. This liquid actually has an anticoagulant property similar to the medicine heparin; it keeps human or animal blood from clotting. This fungus turns brown with age. Bloody-Tooth Fungus establishes a relationship with the roots of certain trees, so you will find it lower down on the tree’s trunk. The fungus exchanges the minerals and amino acids it has extracted from the soil with its enzymes, for oxygen and carbon within the host tree that allow the fungus to flourish. It’s a great partnership that benefits both, called symbiosis. The picture above was taken at Kings Corner at the pine trees on the west side of the property. It was taken in early to mid-autumn. This part of the woods is moist enough to grow some really beautiful mushrooms and fungi. Come and see—but don’t touch or destroy. Fungi should be respected for the role they play in the woods ecology.

Bába Abstract: The authors evaluated the samples collected by Marninus De Smit in 1999 at the collection site of Katavothres, on the isle of Kefalinia, Greece. Key-words: Katavothers, Greece, Marin mollusc fauna Material and methods Sample collections were carried out in a southern bay of the isle of Kefalinia, on the coast of Katavothres (09.06.1999.) For the determination of the order of families we used Poppe, G. T.–Gotto, Y. (1991–1993) Vol. I-II. For the identification of species we gave preference to the following publications: Nordsieik, F. (1968, 1969, 1972) Poppe, G. T.–Gotto, Y. (1991, 1993), D’ Angeló–Gargiullo, S. (1978) and also Ghisotti, F.–Melone, G. (1971, 1972, 1975) Results The collections yielded species from Scaphopoda, Lamellibranchiata and Gastropoda class- es. Altogether 7697 individuals belonging to 188 species were collected. (Scaphopoda: 1 family 1 species, Lamellibranchiata: 30 families 90 species 3811 specimen, Gastropoda: 42 families 188 species 7697 specimen). From the Bivalvia the Musculus laevigatus is a cir- cumpolar, the Hiatellidae: Hiatella arctica is a boreal circumpolar species. From the Gastropoda the Trochidae: Clanculus striatus, Phasianellidae: Tricolia miniata are known as belonging to the Southern Mediterranean. Most probably they spread due shipping. From most of the species encountered 1-40 individuals were found. More than 100 indi- viduals were collected from the species below: Jujubinus striatus, Gibbula philberti, Truncatella subcylindrica, Alvania consociella, Bittium latreilli, Bittium reticulatum, Cerithium alucaster, Gibberula miliaria, Granulina clandestina. Summary From the alluvial deposits on an island near Greece 11 508 individuals from 279 species of 72 families from 3 orders were encountered.
