Site description (2001 baseline):
Site location and context
Northern part of the Russki Zavorot Peninsula.
Very poor data based on extrapolations from count data (individuals per sq.km). These data are very approximate but allow the assignment of criteria A4iii, A4i and B1i. NOTE: ESTIMATES OF TOTAL BIRD NUMBERS CANNOT BE CONSIDERED AS ACCURATE.
Extensive marine shallows and low-lying tundra with numerous small lakes connected by channels.
Conservation responses/actions for key biodiversity
There is a project to establish Nenetsky Zapovednik in this area. A scientific programme with Groningen University (Netherlands) is ongoing.
