Data Zone
The site was identified as important in 2010 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 | 2004 | 10 breeding pairs | A1 |
| Red-legged Cormorant Poikilocarbo gaimardi | NT | breeding | 2004 | 40 breeding pairs | A1 |
| Guanay Cormorant Leucocarbo bougainvilliorum | NT | breeding | 2004 | 70 breeding pairs | A1 |
| Inca Tern Larosterna inca | NT | breeding | 2004 | 200 breeding pairs | A1 |
1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2010) may differ.
Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2010. The most recent assessment (2014) is shown below.
| IBA conservation assessment | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Year of assessment | State | Pressure | Response |
| 2014 | favourable | high | low |
| Whole site assessed? | State assessed by | Accuracy of information | |
| yes | habitat | medium | |
| State (condition of the trigger species' habitats) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Habitat | Quantity (% remaining) | Quality (% carrying capacity) | Result |
| Marine Coastal/Supratidal | - | good (> 90%) | favourable |
| Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Threat | Timing | Scope | Severity | Result |
| Biological resource use | happening now | majority/most of area/population (50-90%) | slow but significant deterioration | high |
| Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Protected areas | Management plan | Other action | Result |
| Little/none of site covered (<10%) | No management plan exists but the management planning process has begun | Substantive conservation measures are being implemented but these are not comprehensive and are limited by resources and capacity | low |
