Disturbance can prevent birds from nesting, can cause nest and colony desertion and affect breeding success. Never light fires or keep strong lights close to islets during the night since this can disorientate seabirds returning to their nests. Fire may destroy important habitats. A bird colony could be abandoned instantly due to their presence. Never spend the night on islets since rodents commonly found on boats will readily land.
Nests located on the ground are easily accessible to such predators.
Do not pick plants. Do not remove or introduce plants or animals. Do not destroy fragile ecosystems, such as small wetlands. Follow these simple rules and contribute to the conservation of these small but unique parts of the Aegean.
