Threats to the site (pressure)
Threat Level 1	Threat Level 2	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Human intrusions and disturbance	recreational activities	likely in short term (within 4 years)	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium
Invasive and other problematic species and genes	invasive non-native/alien species/diseases - unspecified species	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	no or imperceptible deterioration	low

Condition of key/trigger populations (state)
Scientific	Common	TargetPop	ActualPop	Units	Remaining	Result
Hydroprogne caspia	Caspian Tern	80	80	breeding pairs	100	favourable

Conservation actions taken at site (response)
Conservation Designation	Management Planning	Conservation Action	Result
Most of site (50-90%) covered (including the most critical parts for important bird species)	No management plan exists but the management planning process has begun	The conservation measures needed for the site are being comprehensively and effectively implemented	medium
