Data Zone
The site was identified as important in 2015 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Black-faced Spoonbill Platalea minor | EN | winter | 2008-2014 | 79-285 individuals | A1, A4i |
| Kentish Plover Charadrius alexandrinus | LC | non-breeding | 2008-2014 | 3,800-8,039 individuals | A4i |
1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2015) may differ.
Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2015. The most recent assessment (2015) is shown below.
| IBA conservation assessment | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Year of assessment | State | Pressure | Response |
| 2015 | not assessed | very high | negligible |
| Whole site assessed? | State assessed by | Accuracy of information | |
| yes | unset | good | |
| Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Threat | Timing | Scope | Severity | Result |
| Natural system modifications | happening now | majority/most of area/population (50-90%) | very rapid to severe deterioration | very high |
| Transportation and service corridors | likely in short term (within 4 years) | some of area/population (10-49%) | very rapid to severe deterioration | high |
| Invasive and other problematic species and genes | happening now | some of area/population (10-49%) | moderate to rapid deterioration | high |
| Human intrusions and disturbance | happening now | some of area/population (10-49%) | no or imperceptible deterioration | low |
| Climate change and severe weather | likely in long term (beyond 4 years) | whole area/population (>90%) | no or imperceptible deterioration | low |
| 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 | Not assessed | negligible |
