The site was identified as important in 2010 because it was regularly supporting significant populations of the species listed below, meeting ('triggering') IBA criteria.
Populations meeting IBA criteria ('trigger species'):Species | Red List Category | Season | Year(s) | Population estimate at site | IBA criteria met |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Black-browed Albatross Thalassarche melanophris | LC | breeding | 2002 | 15,594 breeding pairs | A1, A4ii |
A4iii Species group - seabirds | n/a | breeding | 2008 | 10,000-19,999 breeding pairs | A4ii |
The current IUCN Red List category (shown above) may differ from that which was valid at the time of IBA criteria assessment (2010).
