The site was identified as important in 2014 because it was regularly supporting significant populations of the species listed below, meeting ('triggering') IBA criteria.

Populations meeting IBA criteria ('trigger species') at the site:

Species	Red List1	Season	Year(s)	Size	IBA criteria
Atlantic Puffin Fratercula arctica	VU	breeding	2013	15,080 breeding pairs	B1ii, B2
A4iii Species group - seabirds	n/a	breeding	2013	15,000 breeding pairs	A4iii

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2014) may differ.

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2014. The most recent assessment (2016) is shown below.

State (condition of the trigger species' populations)
Species	Reference	Actual	Units	% remaining	Result
European Shag Gulosus aristotelis	15,080	15,700	breeding pairs	100	favourable
European Shag Gulosus aristotelis	40	27	breeding pairs	68	unfavourable
Black-legged Kittiwake Rissa tridactyla	900	771	breeding pairs	86	near favourable

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Biological resource use	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium
Energy production and mining	likely in long term (beyond 4 years)	small area/few individuals (<10%)	no or imperceptible deterioration	low
Climate change and severe weather	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	no or imperceptible deterioration	low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Protected areas	Management plan	Other action	Result
Whole area of site (>90%) covered by appropriate conservation designation	A comprehensive and appropriate management plan exists that aims to maintain or improve the populations of qualifying bird species	The conservation measures needed for the site are being comprehensively and effectively implemented	high
