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 ('triggering') IBA criteria.

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

Species	Red List	Season (year/s of estimate)	Size	IBA criteria
Humboldt Penguin Spheniscus humboldti	VU	breeding (2004)	10 pairs	A1
Red-legged Cormorant Poikilocarbo gaimardi	NT	breeding (2004)	40 pairs	A1
Guanay Cormorant Leucocarbo bougainvilliorum	NT	breeding (2004)	70 pairs	A1
Inca Tern Larosterna inca	NT	breeding (2004)	200 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 (2014) is shown below.

State (condition of the trigger species' habitats)
Habitat	Quantity (% remaining)	Quality (% carrying capacity)	Result
Marine Coastal/Supratidal	-	good (>90%)	good

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Biological resource use	happe­ning now	most of popul­ation/area (50–90%)	slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations)	high

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Designation	Planning	Action	Result
Little/none of area 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

Habitat	% of IBA	Habitat detail
