The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2007 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 List	Season (year/s of estimate)	Size	IBA criteria
Barnacle Goose Branta leucopsis	LC	breeding (2005–2006)	2 pairs	C6
Greylag Goose Anser anser	LC	passage (2000–2006)	2,000–3,000 birds	B1i, C3
Smew Mergellus albellus	LC	passage (2000–2006)	50–100 birds	C2, C6
Western Marsh-harrier Circus aeruginosus	LC	breeding (2000–2006)	4–5 pairs	C6
White-tailed Sea-eagle Haliaeetus albicilla	LC	winter (2000–2006)	6–10 birds	C6

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2007. The most recent assessment (2018) is shown below.

State (condition of the trigger species' habitats)
Habitat	Quantity (% remaining)	Quality (% carrying capacity)	Result
Wetlands (inland)	good (>90%)	good (>90%)	good

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Residential and commercial development	likely in short term (<4 years)	some of popul­ation/area (10–49%)	slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations)	medium

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Designation	Planning	Action	Result
Whole area (>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	Substantive conservation measures are being implemented, but these are not compre­hensive and are limited by resources and capacity	high

Year	Protected Area	Designation (management category)	% coverage of IBA
1968	Venan	Wildlife and Plant Sanctuary (-)	12
1968	Oset	Nature Reserve (IV)	9
1995	Rynningeviken	Nature Reserve (IV)	19
2015	Oset och Rynningeviken	Nature Reserve (IV)	28
