Placing red buoys to protect pelican colonies

13 Mar 2020

On Monday 9th March the wardens of the Management Body for the Prespa National Park, in collaboration with the LIFE Prespa Waterbirds team at the Society for the Protection of Prespa, once again renewed the red buoys around the pelican colonies on Lesser Prespa Lake, as they do every year, aiming to prevent disturbance to the birds from passing boats. This measure has been applied for many years and has proved exceptionally effective, as it has eliminated disturbance to nesting areas; a success which is due to the consistent and correct implementation of the measure by fishermen and residents of the area of Prespa, as well as by visitors.
