The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2007 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
Mute Swan Cygnus olor	LC	winter (2003–2006)	500–1,942 birds	B1i
Whooper Swan Cygnus cygnus	LC	winter (2003–2006)	152–304 birds	B1i
Greylag Goose Anser anser	LC	winter (2003–2006)	700–4,000 birds	B1i
Tufted Duck Aythya fuligula	LC	winter (2003–2006)	660–10,225 birds	B1i
Eurasian Coot Fulica atra	LC	winter (2003–2006)	300,000–500,000 birds	A4i, B1i
Great Cormorant Phalacrocorax carbo	LC	winter (2004–2006)	5,000 birds	B1i
Slender-billed Gull Larus genei	LC	passage (2004–2006)	5,000–6,000 birds	A4i, B1i
European Roller Coracias garrulus	LC	breeding (2004–2006)	40–80 pairs	A1
Red-footed Falcon Falco vespertinus	VU	breeding (2004–2006)	40–60 pairs	A1
A4iii Species group - waterbirds	n/a	winter (2003–2004)	min 50,000 birds	A4iii
A4iii Species group - waterbirds	n/a	passage (2003–2004)	min 50,000 birds	A4iii

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2007. The most recent assessment (2007) is shown below.

State (condition of the trigger species' habitats)
Habitat	Quantity (% remaining)	Quality (% carrying capacity)	Result
Marine Coastal/Supratidal	moderate (70–90%)	poor (40–69%)	very poor
Marine Neritic	good (>90%)	poor (40–69%)	poor

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Pollution	happe­ning now	most of popul­ation/area (50–90%)	rapid decline (>30% over 3 gener­ations)	very high

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Designation	Planning	Action	Result
Some of area covered (10–49%)	No management planning has taken place	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
-	Tamano-Zaporozhski	Zakaznik (-)	17
1978	Mude cone Karabetova Sopka	Nature Monument (-)	1
1986	Tamano-Zaporozhskiy	Zakaznik (IV)	66
1988	Mys Panagiya	Nature Monument (III)	-

Habitat	% of IBA	Habitat detail

Artificial/Terrestrial	8	Arable land; Other urban and industrial areas; Perennial crops, orchards and groves
Grassland	5	Steppes and dry calcareous grassland
