© D. CEBRIAN «Since they are such poor walkers, shearwaters come to land mainly at night, so as to avoid terrestrial predators. They have loud frightening nocturnal calls which sound like ghosts.» Mediterranean Shearwater Puffinus yelkouan Current status The two subspecies of the endemic Mediterranean Shearwater have recently been given specific status and are now considered as two separate species, Balearic Shearwater Puffinus mauretanicus* and Levantin Shearwater Puffinus yelkouan. As both species still appear in the Protocol as one species they are treated jointly below. The Balearic Shearwater breeds in the Balearic Islands while the Levantin Shearwater breeds in the Tirrenian, Adriatic and Aegean Seas. Both are pelagic species, which breed on rocky islands and islets. The population of the Balearic Shearwater has been estimated at about 1750 pairs (2002 figures by Spanish Working Group on Balearic Shearwater), with that of the Levantin Shearwater at probably less than 16,500 pairs. Some pairs probably breed along the North African coast. * The Balearic Shearwater is classed as a critically threatened species by BirdLife International because of extreme risk of extinction in three generations (current decline over 7% annually). Current factors causing loss or decline Lack of food resources; lack of protection of breeding colonies; predation by Rats Rattus sp, Yellow-legged Gulls Larus cachinnans, and possibly feral cats; disturbance; collection for food (at least until 1970s); some mortality from bycatch (nets); and possibly oil spills and chemical pollution of the sea. Status under international instruments Appendix II - Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats (1979). European Union Regulation laying down certain technical measures for the conservation of fishery resources in the Mediterranean (1626/94 (EC) 1994). Current Action Plans Species Action Plan for the Balearic Shearwater Puffinus mauretanicus in Europe prepared by BirdLife International on behalf of the European Commission (final draft December 1999). A National Action Plan for the conservation of Puffinus maureticanus was adopted by the Spanish government in 1999. Official Working Group in Spain (Ministry of Environment) to determine status and propose conservation actions for Puffinus maureticanus. Action Plan objectives and target To halt the decline of the two species, to restore their numbers to former status and to increase the knowledge about their biology. 19
Proposed action - Inventory and map critical habitats supporting the colonies. - Confer strictly protected status on the two species. - Prohibit all types of disturbance to the breeding colonies, including the taking of eggs and young. - Monitor the population dynamics of the species and warden colonies. - Control and if possible eradicate rats and predators in the colonies affected by introduced mammals and prevent any further introduction of terrestrial mammals in breeding colonies. - Ensure the protection of the breeding habitat and create SPAs where breeding colonies exist. - Plan, regulate and/or manage activities and processes of coastal and infrastructure development near to known colonies. - Promote adequate fishing practices, which take into account the conservation of the species. - Prevent oil spills and chemical pollution of the sea. - Undertake surveys of colonies and research on the conservation biology of the species. - Identify areas at sea important for the species. - Develop an Action Plan to reduce mortality at sea especially from by-catch. European Storm-petrel Hydrobates pelagicus Current status Pelagic species breeding in small to very large colonies mainly on islets and in caves along the coast. Subspecies melitensis is endemic to the Mediterranean. Important breeding colonies are found in Malta, Sardinia and Sicily. Breeding surveys are totally lacking for the Adriatic and eastern Mediterranean. A general decline has been recorded. Current factors causing loss or decline Loss of habitat; disturbance; predation by Rattus sp. and Yellowlegged Gull Larus cachinnans; possibly oil spills and chemical pollution of the sea. Status under international instruments Appendix II - Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats (1979). Annex I - European Union Directive on the conservation of wild birds (79/409/EEC/1979). 20 «Storm Petrels fly so close to the waves that ancient mariners used to say they were walking on the water.» © A.
