Map of habitats of Natural Park of Montgrķ, les Illes Medes i el Baix Ter (scale 1:10,000)
The habitats map of the Montgrķ massif, Medes islands and Baix Ter wetlands
This mapping includes all the
Natural Park of Montgrķ, les Illes Medes i el Baix Ter (except marine reserves), largely located in the Baix Empordą region. The total mapped area is 6,203 hectares in the municipalities of Torroella de Montgrķ, Bellcaire d'Empordą, Fontanilles, Gualta, Palau-sator, Pals, Ullą and l'Escala.
The mapping was done using the 2014 ortophotomaps (1:5,000 and 1:2,500, infrared and color) of the
Cartographic and Geologic Institute of Catalonia and the fieldwork was conducted in spring and summer of
2016. The legend consists of CORINE units cited and explained in the
Catalan Habitats Manual. The cartographic information is structured in two layers, one of polygons and another of points. Each of which, contains the information of the CORINE habitats and the European Union Habitats of Interest (HCI). The minimum area has been set to 0.2 hectares for polygons (except islets and rock stacks). Habitats which occupy less surface are represented as points. In the whole Natural Park we could create 2,063 polygons and 714 points. In total, 115 habitats were detected; 26 of those are European Union Habitats of Interest (HCI), and 4 of those are priority.
The map was updated in June 2019, after the restoration of habitats in the area of La Pletera has been completed.
