The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2020 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
Chilean Tinamou Nothoprocta perdicaria	LC	breeding (2006–2008)	present	A2
Humboldt Penguin Spheniscus humboldti	VU	breeding (2008)	140 birds	A1
Red-legged Cormorant Poikilocarbo gaimardi	NT	resident (2016–2020)	85 birds	B1a
Guanay Cormorant Leucocarbo bougainvilliorum	NT	resident (2016–2020)	165 birds	B1a
Ochre-flanked Tapaculo Eugralla paradoxa	LC	resident (2006–2008)	present	A2
Chilean Mockingbird Mimus thenca	LC	breeding (2006–2008)	present	A2

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2020. The most recent assessment (2014) is shown below.

State (condition of the trigger species' habitats)
Habitat	Quantity (% remaining)	Quality (% carrying capacity)	Result
Forest	-	poor (40–69%)	very poor

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Residential and commercial development	happe­ning now	few indivi­duals/small area (<10%)	moderate decline (10–30% over 3 gener­ations)	low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Designation	Planning	Action	Result
Little/none of area covered (<10%)	A management plan exists, but it is out of date or not compre­hensive	Substantive conservation measures are being implemented, but these are not compre­hensive and are limited by resources and capacity	low

Year	Protected Area	Designation (management category)	% coverage of IBA
1998	Parque Tumbes Talcahuano	Other Area (-)	100
