The site was identified as important in 2014 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:

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2014) may differ.

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

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Invasive and other problematic species and genes	likely in long term (beyond 4 years)	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium
Pollution	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	no or imperceptible deterioration	low
Climate change and severe weather	likely in long term (beyond 4 years)	small area/few individuals (<10%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Protected areas	Management plan	Other action	Result
Not assessed	Not assessed	Not assessed	not assessed

Year	Protected Area	Designation	% overlap with IBA
1976	Te Hauturu-o-Toi / Little Barrier Island (Gift Area)	Nature Reserve	100
2013	Te Maraeroa	Conservation Covenant	<1

Habitat1	Habitat detail	% of IBA
