Site details
Rationale for qualifying as KBA: This site qualifies as a Key Biodiversity Area of international significance that was identified using previously established criteria and thresholds for the identification of Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas (IBAs) and for which available data indicate that it does not meet global KBA criteria and thresholds set out in the Global Standard.
Delineation rationale: Some of the IBA is adopted from official polygons of protected areas. The remaining part is drafted in Google Earth. The IBA covers Skogvoll Nature Reserve and Risøysundet Nature Reserve, as well as the eastern coastline of Andøya from Breivik to Åse.
