Category of conservation concern (IUCN, 2020) – Least Concern<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
Population size<\/b>:<\/i><\/b> 2020: 1 300 -2 400 pairs (2007: 300 \u2013 1 300 pairs)<\/span><\/p>\n Distribution pattern<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Numerous species, but with strongly localized distribution. Inhabits mainly coastal hypersaline water bodies \u2013 coastal lagoons, saltpans, and others. Hunts only in salty or brackish waters, most often in the coastal parts of the sea.<\/span><\/p>\n Population estimation for the period 2013 – 2020:<\/b>\u00a0 <\/b>During the period 2013-2020, no visible change in the distribution of the species was established with the exception of one accidental breeding site in the Mandra-Poda Complex. The only permanent breeding colony of the species is found on the territory of the Pomorie Lake, where the species increases in number. The main factor for this increase are the successful conservation measures implemented over the years in order to expand the area and improve the breeding habitat of the species.<\/span><\/p>\n Population size in Special Protection Areas of Natura 2000:<\/b> 1 300-2 400 pairs (100% of the population). All the habitats of the species are found on the territory of the Natura 2000 network. The highest numbers have been registered in the <\/span>Special Protection<\/span> Areas \u201cPomoriysko Lake\u201d (1300-2400 pairs), \u201cAtanasovsko Lake\u201d (0-120 pairs) and the \u201cMandra-Poda Complex\u201d (0-2 pairs)<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
