Data Zone
The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2004 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Masked Finfoot Heliopais personatus | CR | non-breeding (2004) | present | A1, A3 |
| Chinese Egret Egretta eulophotes | VU | non-breeding (2004) | present | A1 |
| Spotted Greenshank Tringa guttifer | EN | winter (2004) | present | A1, A4i |
| Common Tern Sterna hirundo | LC | winter (2004) | present | A4i |
| Lesser Crested Tern Thalasseus bengalensis | LC | winter (2004) | present | A4i |
Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2004. The most recent assessment (2013) is shown below.
| IBA conservation assessment | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Year of assessment | State | Pressure | Response |
| 2013 | not assessed | high | high |
| Whole site assessed? | State assessed by | Accuracy of information | |
| yes | unset | unknown | |
| Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Threat | Timing | Scope | Severity | Result |
| Pollution | happening now | most of population/area (50–90%) | moderate decline (10–30% over 3 generations) | high |
| Human intrusions and disturbance | happening now | most of population/area (50–90%) | slow decline (1–10% over 3 generations) | high |
| Residential and commercial development | likely in short term (<4 years) | some of population/area (10–49%) | rapid decline (>30% over 3 generations) | high |
| Transportation and service corridors | likely in short term (<4 years) | some of population/area (10–49%) | rapid decline (>30% over 3 generations) | high |
| Natural system modifications | happening now | some of population/area (10–49%) | slow decline (1–10% over 3 generations) | medium |
| Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Designation | Planning | Action | Result |
| Whole area (>90%) covered by appropriate conservation designation | A management plan exists, but it is out of date or not comprehensive | The conservation measures needed for the site are being comprehensively and effectively implemented | high |
| Habitat | % of IBA | Habitat detail |
|---|---|---|
| Forest | 89 | Mangrove forest (tropical) |
| Marine Intertidal | 11 | |
| Artificial/Terrestrial | minor (<10) | |
