Section 5Methodology summaryCriteria lists: the Criterion A threatened species qualify mainly under Aii, Europeanthreat. National biotope classifications were used to determine botanical richnessunder Criterion B. Criteria B and C were also used to assess IPAs important for fungiand algae.Data and fieldwork: existing databases provided the information to select potential IPAsand two fieldwork seasons were carried out in 2003 and 2004 to verify selection andcollect additional information.Site Selection: the national site selection strategy focussed on selecting sites of differentsizes, both inside and outside of the existing protected area system.Key Issues: special emphasis was placed on integrating data from vascular plants,bryophytes, lichen, fungi and algae in the selection of IPAs.Protection and management of IPAs in EstoniaTotal IPAs with National National protection European InternationalIPAs no legal protection of IPAs (lower level) recognition recognitionprotection of IPAs of IPAs of IPAs(high level)108 5 National Landscape reserve (41) SAC* (98) Ramsar (18)Park (5) Nature reserve (26) SPA* (51)SAC* & SPA*= sites officially proposed by the Estonian Government to the ECManagement and protection of IPAs is partly secured through existing conservationmanagement on statutory conservation sites and Natura 2000 areas.The next stepshould be for management plans for IPAs to be developed either to ensure that existingconservation management plans take account of IPA features or, to develop specificmanagement plans for IPAs outside of protected areas.Habitats and land useNo. ofIPAs44Major habitats at IPAs in EstoniaForests are the most frequent habitat at IPAs in Estonia (77 IPAs – deciduous broadleafforests 28, coniferous forest 49, mixed forest 46). Grassland occurs as a frequent andsignificant habitat cover at IPAs (65 IPAs – dry 45, mesic 24, wet 23, wooded grassland13). Mire, bog and fen habitats are frequent (51 IPAs – valley mires/fens 21, bogs 17).Inland water habitats are also well represented (31 IPAs – standing water 23, runningwater 21, littoral zone 5).There are many coastal habitats (43 IPAs – dunes 13, shingle 32,cliffs 28) and four IPAs with marine habitats including two IPAs which are 100% marine.
EstoniaApart from nature conservation activities on protected areas the most frequent landuses on IPAs in Estonia are tourism and recreation (56 IPAs), forestry (40 IPAs),haymaking or mowing (29 IPAs), grazing animals (26 IPAs), and hunting (11 IPAs).Qualifying Criteria for IPAsCriterion No of Criterion A No of Criterion No of IPAs Criterion No ofA IPAs Tax.

Fungi, bryophytes, lichen and algae were used to identify sites underthe three different criteria. Kassari Bay IPA, one of only two marine IPAs to date, wasidentified under Criterion B for its unique drifting red algal communities.Key threats to IPAsNo. ofIPAs45
