Portugal - The Southwest Coast

"There are a wide range of habitats along the coastline, including marshes, cliffs, dune systems and lacustrine systems, including five priority habitats. Near the coast there is a coastal plateau, cut into by intermittent Mediterranean watercourses and small permanent streams, with the greatest concentration of temporary humid habitats in the country, several of which are conservation priorities. On the escarped coastline between Sagres and SBo Vicente, in climatic conditions strongly marked by the Atlantic influence, there are a remarkable number of natural habitats, rich in endemic features, some of which are rare worldwide having attracted scientists from all over the world..."
