In the WSBA, Akrotiri Salt Lake supports 13 endemic (16 at Akrotiri Peninsula) and rare species of plant including Ophrys kotschyi, Anthemis tricolor,  Lotus cytisoides and Convolvulus x cyprius. These plants are threatened by tourism, coastal recreational activities and off-road driving.

Surveys are needed in the ESBA to determine the range of flora and the presence of any species of conservation concern.
