Data Zone
The site was identified as important in 2020 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Humboldt Penguin Spheniscus humboldti | VU | breeding | 2016-2020 | 25-473 individuals | A1 |
| Peruvian Pelican Pelecanus thagus | NT | resident | 2016-2020 | 30-1,000 individuals | B1a |
| Guanay Cormorant Leucocarbo bougainvilliorum | NT | non-breeding | 2016-2020 | 10-500 individuals | B1a |
1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2020) may differ.
Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2020. The most recent assessment (2019) is shown below.
| IBA conservation assessment | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Year of assessment | State | Pressure | Response |
| 2019 | favourable | very high | high |
| Whole site assessed? | State assessed by | Accuracy of information | |
| yes | habitat | good | |
| State (condition of the trigger species' habitats) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Habitat | Quantity (% remaining) | Quality (% carrying capacity) | Result |
| Marine Coastal/Supratidal | good (> 90%) | good (> 90%) | favourable |
| Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Threat | Timing | Scope | Severity | Result |
| Invasive and other problematic species and genes | happening now | whole area/population (>90%) | moderate to rapid deterioration | very high |
| Biological resource use | happening now | some of area/population (10-49%) | slow but significant deterioration | medium |
| 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 | Substantive conservation measures are being implemented but these are not comprehensive and are limited by resources and capacity | high |
| Habitat1 | Habitat detail | % of IBA |
|---|---|---|
| Marine Coastal/Supratidal | major (>10) |
