Data Zone
The site was identified as important in 2021 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hudsonian Godwit Limosa haemastica | LC | non-breeding | 2016-2021 | 1,000-3,500 individuals | A4, B3a |
The current IUCN Red List category may differ from that which was valid at the time of IBA criteria assessment (2021).

| Energy production and mining | renewable energy | likely in long term (beyond 4 years) | small area/few individuals (<10%) | slow but significant deterioration | low |
| Residential and commercial development | housing and urban areas | happening now | some of area/population (10-49%) | very rapid to severe deterioration | high |
