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
Lesser Black-backed Gull Larus fuscus	LC	breeding	1996	348 breeding pairs	B3
Caspian Tern Hydroprogne caspia	LC	breeding	1996	8 breeding pairs	B2, C6

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