IBA Justification

The site was identified as important in 2004 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
A4iii Species group - waterbirds	n/a	unknown	-	20,000 individuals	A4iii

The current IUCN Red List category may differ from that which was valid at the time of IBA criteria assessment (2004).
