The site was identified as important in 2000 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
Goosander Mergus merganser	LC	winter	1997	50-500 individuals	B1i
White-tailed Sea-eagle Haliaeetus albicilla	LC	passage	1997	5-20 individuals	A1
White-tailed Sea-eagle Haliaeetus albicilla	LC	winter	1996	4-16 individuals	A1

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2000) may differ.

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2000. The most recent assessment (2017) is shown below.

State (condition of the trigger species' populations)
Species	Reference	Actual	Units	% remaining	Result
