Site description (2001 baseline):
Site location and context
Low-lying coastal tundra in the vicinity of the Rivers Snopa, Oma, Vizha and Perepusk.
Large numbers of geese and ducks occur on passage. The B1i criterion is applied at site-level rather than at species-level, as recent count data are not available for any bird species. The site may also prove to fulfil the A4i criterion once systematic counts have been made.
