The islands have been identified as an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because they support over 1% of the world populations of Short-tailed Shearwaters (with over 1.4 million nesting burrows), Pacific Gulls (with about 450 breeding pairs) and, possibly, of Black-faced Cormorants.
