The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2015 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
Common Eider Somateria mollissima	NT	passage (2014–2015)	9,726–12,100 males	B1i, C3
Razorbill Alca torda	LC	breeding (2009–2010)	min 822 pairs	B1ii, B3, C3

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2015. The most recent assessment (2010) is shown below.

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
No known threats	happe­ning now	few indivi­duals/small area (<10%)	no or slight decline (<1% over 3 gener­ations)	low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Designation	Planning	Action	Result
Whole area (>90%) covered by appropriate conservation designation	No management planning has taken place	Some limited conservation initiatives are in place	low

Habitat	% of IBA	Habitat detail
Marine Neritic	100
Marine Coastal/Supratidal	minor (<10)

Land use	% of IBA
not utilised	100
