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
Mew Gull Larus canus	LC	breeding	1995	1,323 breeding pairs	B2
Great Black-backed Gull Larus marinus	LC	breeding	1995	90 breeding pairs	B3
Arctic Tern Sterna paradisaea	LC	breeding	1995	1,430 breeding pairs	C2

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