1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2007) may differ.
Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2007. The most recent assessment (2007) is shown below.

| Year of assessment | State | Pressure | Response |
| 2007 | favourable | low | not assessed |
| Whole site assessed? | State assessed by | Accuracy of information | |
