Projekta mér is, teritorija un galvenie pasåkumi

Eiropas Komisijas atbalstîtais LIFE–Nature projekts“Piekrastes biotopu aizsardzîba un apsaimniekoßanaLatvijå” (Piekrastes projekts) ilga no 2002. lîdz 2006. gadam. To vadîja Latvijas Universitåtes Biolo©ijasfakultåte sadarbîbå ar diviem partneriem — Liepåjasre©ionålo vides pårvaldi un Zieme¬vidzemes biosférasrezervåtu.

Projekta lîdzfinansétåji — Eiropas Komisija (75% noprojekta finanséjuma), Latvijas Vides aizsardzîbas fondsun 11 piekrastes paßvaldîbas — Rucava, Medze,Påvilosta, Roja, LapmeΩciems, Jürmala, Rîga,Carnikava, Saulkrasti, Salacgrîva, AinaΩi.

Projekta mér˚is — Eiropas Savienîbå aizsargåjamoLatvijas piekrastes biotopu aizsardzîba, atjaunoßana unapsaimniekoßana. Uzsåkot projektu, bija zinåms, kaLatvijå jüras piekrasté sastopami 23 Eiropå aizsargåjamibiotopi (no tiem 7 prioritåri aizsargåjami), 9 biotopi, kasaizsargåjami saskañå ar Bernes konvenciju, 4 Biotopudirektîvå minétas augu sugas un 16 Putnu direktîvåminétas sugas.

Projekta teritorija — Baltijas jüras un Rîgas lîça krastakåpu aizsargjosla — apméram 300 metrus plata joslajüras piekrastes sauszemes da¬å, un pludmale. Projektateritorija bija plaßåka vairåkås Natura 2000 vietås. Jüras krasta kopgarums Latvijå ir aptuveni 496 kilo-metri.

Background information on the project

LIFE–Nature project “Protection and management ofcoastal habitats in Latvia” (The Coastal Project) lastedfrom 2002 to 2006. Project beneficiary: Faculty ofBiology, University of Latvia. Partners: North VidzemeBiosphere Reserve and Liepåja Regional EnvironmentalBoard. Co–financiers: European Commission (75%),Environmental Protection Fund of Latvia, and 11 coastal municipalities: Rucava, Medze, Påvilosta,Roja, LapmeΩciems, Jürmala, Rîga, Carnikava,Saulkrasti, Salacgrîva, AinaΩi.

The aim of the project was conservation, restoration andsustainable management of coastal habitats and speciesof Community importance. (Starting the project, therewere estimated 23 habitat types (7 of them EU priority)and 4 plant species listed in the Habitats Directive, 9 habitat types according to the Bern Convention, and16 species listed in Birds Directive.)

Project area was the entire Baltic Sea coast — approx.300 m wide coastal zone, beginning with the waterlinein the terrestrial direction. In Latvia, this territory is tra-ditionally protected as the Baltic Sea coastal protectionbelt. In areas where nature conservation plans were elaborated for the protected nature areas, project actionsextend to cover the entire areas of the habitats. Thelength of the Baltic Sea Coast in Latvia is 496 km andapprox. 45% of the Latvian Sea coast is included inNatura 2000 network.

Socioeconomic contextBetween 1945 and 1990, access to the seashore in Latviawas restricted, because the western boundary of Latviawas also the border of the USSR. Controlled access wasallowed only in particular locations. While this systemdegraded the traditional economical and cultural envi-ronment, it ensured that natural habitats were protectedand that building was restricted in the largest part of thecoast, in contrast with most of the European countries.These restrictions were removed after renewal of inde-pendence in 1991. Now, the number of visitors in thesea coast is growing exponentially. Natural habitats suf-fer both from the activities of tourists and from the inappropriate management.

Main threats to the coastal habitats in Latvia (as definedin project application) are: degradation of coastal natu-ral habitats by recreation and activities of tourism; dete-rioration of coastal ecosystem by motorised vehicles;destroying of indigenous flora and vegetation by aggres-sive alien species; the reduction of the area of grey dunes;decreasing area of semi–natural meadows; the decreaseof the biological diversity of forests resulting from inappropriate management; decrease in area of endan-gered habitats due to building and due to inappropriatecoastal management; deterioration of endangered habi-tats in protected nature areas due to lack of nature con-servation plans; deterioration of natural habitats due tolow public awareness.

Main actions of the project were • Mapping and evaluation of coastal habitats of

Community importance in the whole coastal protec-tion belt.

• Planning of the appropriate protection and manage-ment measures in protected nature areas where therecurrently are no nature conservation plans.

• Implementation of management measures in thecoastal zone in areas with large and increasing visitoractivity.

• Restoration and maintenance of coastal meadows andgrey dunes in areas where immediate protectionactions are required (cutting of trees and bushes,mowing, grazing); removal of aggressive alien plantspecies (in some areas where they are rapidly expand-ing in distribution and destroying indigenous flora).

• Preparation and dissemination of information aboutthe Coastal project and about threatened coastal habi-tats of Community importance and their protection.

Who lives at the sea coast of Latvia?

There are approx. 7000 landowners in the coastal pro-tection belt in Latvia (data of State Land Service, 2003).In years 2003 and 2004, a questionnaire of coastallandowners was organised by the Coastal Project, and1581 landowners from 31 municipalities participated.

Approximately one half (55%) of landowners live at thesea coast constantly, 29% seasonally. Of the permanentresidents, nearly half (41%) have lived here for all theirlife and 32% live for 11 and more years. Others are new-comers — 2% live here for 1 year, 3% for 2 years, 8%for 3–5 years and 11% for 6–10 years.

In discussions with landowners and municipalities wehave sometimes heard the opinion that the coastal pro-tection regime is too hard in Latvia and that most of therestrictions should be removed. However, the results ofquestionnaire show that only 11% of landowners thinkthat the restrictions are too hard. 36% think that pro-tection should be harder, 23% are satisfied with theexisting system.

More than a half of respondents (57%) are satisfied withthe existing regulations or would like harder ones, andonly 11% think that restrictions are too hard. Themajority would like to receive compensations for therestrictions (75%).

52% of landowners criticise the building activities in thecoastal protection belt, and only 8% think that morehouses should be built. However, 25% of respondentswant to use their own land for building. Therefore, theplanning of sustainable development of the coastal areasis very important.

Habitat mapping and elaboration of functional zoning

In years 2002—2004, the habitat mapping in all project area was organised. For this purpose ortophotomaps of State Land Service and topographical maps ofSoviet Army (scale 1:10 000) were used. On the base ofthese maps, borders of potential habitats were digitised.Further, experts walked over all the coast of Latvia,checked and corrected habitat borders. For every singlearea, the necessity of protection and management wasevaluated. On the basis on this inventory, the habitatmap with a comprehensive attribute data base was created. It was delivered to municipalities and state insti-tutions. Maps are being used for the elaboration andevaluation of territorial plans on various levels.

On the basis of this map, the functional zoning waselaborated. It is a map, showing advisable, allowed andprohibited actions in every area. The territory was divided into following zones:

Development of nature conservation plans forprotected nature areas

One of the most voluminous works of the CoastalProject was the elaboration of nature conservation plansfor 4 Natura 2000 sites — Nature Parks “Piejüra”(3) and“Bernåti”(1), and Nature Reserves “UΩava”(2) and“Vidzemes Akmeñainå Jürmala”(4).

Nature Park “Bernåti”(1) is located in Nîca municipali-ty, Liepåja District. Biodiversity values — woodeddunes, grey dunes and foredunes. Main threats is thegrowing anthropogenic pressure. Management priori-ties: conservation of old dune forests and dune slacks,building of recreation infrastructure, rising of publicawareness. Nature conservation plan was elaborated on2004; Regulations on Individual Protection and Use ofthe Nature Park were approved on 08.04.2004.

Nature Reserve “UΩava”(2) is located in UΩava municipality, Ventspils District. Main nature values —pristine grey dunes (grey dunes with herbaceous vegeta-tion, grey dunes with Salix repens), wooded dunes withold, naturally developed pine forests. For 12 lichenspecies, UΩava grey dunes is the only locality on Latvia.Management priorities: diminishing of anthropogenicpressure by establishment of network of nature paths,resting sites, car parks; public education. The natureconservation plan was approved on 01.11.2004.

Nature park “Piejüra”(3) is located at the coast of Gulfof Rîga, in Rîga, Carnikava and Saulkrasti municipali-ties. This is an area of high diversity of coastal habitats— the beach, white and grey dunes, various types ofgrasslands including coastal meadows, lagoons etc. In

9

summers, park is the holiday site for thousands of peo-ple. Nature protection priorities: the establishment ofrecreation infrastructure, control of nature protectionregime, public education. The plan was approved on01.11.2004, Regulations on Individual Protection andUse approved on 14.03.2006.

Nature Reserve “Vidzemes Akmeñainå Jürmala”(4) islocated in LimbaΩi District, Salacgrîva and Liepupemunicipalities. Habitats — foredunes, embryonicdunes, grey dunes, wooded dunes, semi–natural grass-lands, and also beaches with stones and pebbles, andsandstone cliffs at the sea coast. Management priorities:diminishing of anthropogenic pressure (with means ofboardwalks, stairs, waste management), dune strengthening at some sites, control of invasive species,public education.The plan was approved on 20.08.2004.

For the restoration and maintenance of these grasslands,mowing and grazing of coastal grasslands was organisedin Nature Reserve “Randu p¬avas” and in Nature Park“Piejüra”. In Randu grasslands, an enclosure of the areaof 21 hectares was built and 5 cattle — a cow (TheLatvian Brown) and 4 calves (hybrids of Sharole andHighlander) were let in. Now, the number of cattle hasreached 12. Cattle are looked after by the farm“i˚upvéveri 1”. In addition, 16.5 hectares were managed by mowing. In Nature Park “Piejüra”, more than 80 hectares of reedbeds and grasslands were mown, but in year 2006 thecattle were left in enclosure of 5.5 hectares — 1 cowwith a calve (Highlander) and 1 bull (Galloway). After 3 years of grassland management, grassland`s bio-diversity is increasing. The cover of reed decreases andthe abundance of typical grassland species as well as rarespecies (Armeria maritima, Gladiolus imbricatus,Dactylorhiza incarnata, Triglochin maritimum) increases.In mown grasslands in Salacgrîva, the abundance ofAngelica palustris is increasing. After the end of project,

Boreal baltic coastal meadow is characterised byspecies–rich vegetation containing saline species likeArmeria maritima, Triglochim maritimum and others.The largest and most diverse Latvian coastal meadowsare the Randu P¬avas (Randu grasslands) coveringapprox. 200 hectares at the coast of AinaΩi andSalacgrîva. They provide the rare habitat in the Latviafor Angelica palustris — plant species of Communityimportance. Cessation of grazing and mowing leads tothe growth of woody species and to the decrease of bio-diversity.

In sea coast, Rosa rugosa is the most dispersed andaggressive species. It threatens the open dunes, dunewoodlands and also grasslands. Mostly it can be foundin foredunes and grey dunes. In dune woodlands in Rîga and Jürmala, invasive shrubAmelanchier spicata is spreading. In pine forests, it iscommon mainly at the settlements, and it’s dispersal ispromoted by eutrophication. In years 2003 — 2006, the cutting of invasive specieswas organised.

Rosa rugosa, Amelanchier spicata, Gypsophyla paniculata,Hippophae rhamnoides are not indigenous species in Latvia.They have been planted in gardens and also in wild, andhave dispersed, producing dense stands replacing protectedhabitats. It is necessary to control and eliminate thesespecies because their combating will take much morefinances later.

Coastal landscapes are of scenic and recreational interest. The number of tourists to the Latvian coast isgrowing with each year. While visiting nature, peopleget acquainted to nature, and attached to it. At the sametime, tourism also supports the local economy. Tourists are often unaware of how fragile the coastalnature is. They may trample the dune and forest vegetation and thus cause erosion, or disturb birds andwildlife. People may leave their rubbish behind as wellas make fires and drive in dunes with motorised vehi-cles. Species sensitive to trampling may disappear. Thedegraded and littered territory seems valueless for fur-ther visitors, and the degradation of the area continues.

How to conserve the protected habitats while maintain-ing the recreation possibilities for people? The coastalareas cannot and need not be fenced off. The develop-ment of tourism infrastructure can solve the problem.

By establishing of pedestrian paths, car parks, picnicsites, viewing platforms, it is possible to organise theflow of visitors while conserving the most valuable anddiverse areas. The more successful is the tourism infra-structure of the area the less is the human impact on thesurrounding environment. So, the infrastructure servesfor nature protection and habitat management.

During the project time, small–scale tourism infrastruc-ture was planned and established in 12 coastal munici-palities. The work included also the elaboration of 2 detailed plans, 12 technical designs, and 5 sketch designs.

Car parks

Visitor access control begins at the car park. Here peopleleave their cars and walk to the beach using attractiveroutes. Here, information boards, picnic sites and wastebins should be placed. External fencing may be neededto prevent free range use of the area around the car park.

During the Project time, car parks in Påvilosta andRucava were built, but car parks in Roja andLapmeΩciems were improved.

Such platforms were established by the Coastal Projectin Jürmala, MeΩciems, Rucava, Saulkrasti. In Rîga, birdobservation tower was built. It’s height ir 6.6 metres.Until height of 2.8 metres it is accessible for people withwheelchairs.

Network of pedestrian trails aids for concentrating peo-ple in resistant areas. It is important to choose appro-priate material and location of trails because people willbeat their own paths to the sea unless suitably attractiveroutes are provided.For trails, environmentally friendly material (wood,gravel, chopped bark, mulch) is advisable. Paths shouldbe at least 1.5 m wide. Paths, which receive moderateor heavy use, should be at least 3 m wide. For longpaths, broadening and resting sites should be estab-lished. Where there is no sandblow, a surfaced path ofgravel or chippings is suitable. In areas of sand accre-tion or erosion, boardwalks should be constructed.Along eroded sites, barriers are recommended.

The following pedestrian routes were built by theCoastal Project: 1925 m2 covered with gravel; 900 mcovered with chippings, and 7900 m wooden board-walks (0.75 m — 3.0 m wide). In many sites, paths aresupplemented by stairs and pedestrian bridges. In total, 76 barriers were constructed. They includeboth simple fencings along roads, barriers on illegalroads, along paths and around car parks. Part of the bar-riers can be opened or locked if necessary.

The practical project actions would be unsuccessfulwithout the rising of public awareness. There was a lackof information on coastal nature, its values, protection,maintenance and management. We hope to change theoverall awareness and behaviour of people — they willbe aware on habitats of Community importance andwill know how to protect them.

During the project time, 8 large and 15 minor seminarswere organised, 7 booklets and 20 leaflets published, 2 films produced. We also participated in 12 interna-tional, 29 local conferences and 2 study tours.
