The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2021 because it was regularly supporting significant populations of the species listed below, meeting IBA criteria.

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

Species	Red List	Season (year/s of estimate)	Size	IBA criteria
Northern Shoveler Spatula clypeata	LC	non-breeding (2013–2021)	75–1,680 individuals	B3a, C3

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2021. The most recent assessment (2010) is shown below.
