Action <strong>P<strong>la</strong>n</strong> objectives and target<br />

To reverse the decline of the breeding popu<strong>la</strong>tions in the<br />

Mediterranean.<br />

Proposed action<br />

- Confer strictly protected status on the species.<br />

- Prohibit all types of disturbance to breeding colonies and their<br />

habitat.<br />

- Monitor and warden breeding colonies.<br />

- Create SPAs where breeding colonies exist.<br />

- <strong>P<strong>la</strong>n</strong>, regu<strong>la</strong>te and/or manage activities and processes of:<br />

coastal development and infrastructure that impacts and/or<br />

fragments habitats; pollution; and overexploitation of fish stocks.<br />

- Develop education campaigns aimed at local fishermen.<br />

- Restore degraded wet<strong>la</strong>nds used by the species.<br />

- Create artificial nesting sites close to foraging sites.<br />

Dalmatian Pelican<br />

Pelecanus crispus<br />

Current status<br />

Vulnerable and globally threatened. In the Mediterranean, small<br />

popu<strong>la</strong>tions (totalling 1000 pairs) breed mainly in Albania, Greece<br />

and Turkey. Breeds on in<strong>la</strong>nd and coastal wet<strong>la</strong>nds and nests on<br />

floating is<strong>la</strong>nds of reeds and on bare ground on is<strong>la</strong>nds, iso<strong>la</strong>ted<br />

from main<strong>la</strong>nd to be safe from mammalian predators. Up to<br />

about 3000 birds winter in Albania, Greece, Syria and Turkey.<br />

Current factors causing loss or decline<br />

Wet<strong>la</strong>nd drainage resulting in a sharp decline of avai<strong>la</strong>ble<br />

breeding sites; collisions with electric wires; persecution due to<br />

competition with commercial fisheries.<br />

rarer than White Pelican, is<br />

globally threatened with<br />

an unfavourable<br />
