The site was identified in the Maltese marine IBA inventory as result of the EU LIFE+ Malta Seabird Project (LIFE10 NAT/MT/090) due to its importance for Calonectris diomedea and Puffinus yelkouan during the breeding season. Note: This site was designated as an SPA and proposed as an SCI in 2016; it was confirmed as an SCI in 2017. This site is now only an SPA, since the SCI area was extended in 2018 and hence given a new site code – MT0000116.
