The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2010 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
Black-browed Albatross Thalassarche melanophris	LC	breeding (2007)	40–50 breeding pairs	A1

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

State (condition of the key species' habitats)
Habitat	Quantity (% remaining)	Quality (% carrying capacity)	Result
Marine Coastal/Supratidal	-	moderate (70–90%)	near favourable
Marine Neritic	-	good (>90%)	favourable

Response (conservation actions taken for the key species and/or their habitats)
Designation	Planning	Action	Result
Little/none of site covered (<10%)	No manage­ment plan exists, but the manage­ment planning process has begun	Some limited conservation initiatives are in place	low

Habitat	% of IBA	Habitat detail
