Site description (2000 baseline)
A small, sparsely-vegetated island situated in the Black Sea west of Ordu, less than 100 m from the shore. The IBA lies adjacent to a major freshwater outflow into the sea and has therefore become popular with anglers.
Key biodiversity
The area is important for cliff-nesting species.
