The site was identified as important in 2000 because it was regularly supporting significant populations of the species listed below, meeting ('triggering') IBA criteria.

Populations meeting IBA criteria ('trigger species'):

Species	Current IUCN Red List Category	Season	Year(s)	Population estimate at site	IBA criteria met
Common Eider Somateria mollissima	NT	non-breeding	1996	1,950 individuals	B1i
Ruddy Shelduck Tadorna ferruginea	LC	breeding	1996	11 breeding pairs	B2
Great Cormorant Phalacrocorax carbo	LC	non-breeding	1996	2,380-3,480 individuals	B1i
Pallas's Gull Larus ichthyaetus	LC	breeding	1996	2,090-2,290 breeding pairs	A4i, B1i

The current IUCN Red List category may differ from that which was valid at the time of IBA criteria assessment (2000).
