The reserve protects a diversity of habitats within a relatively small area, including mangroves and estuarine intertidal zones, as well as developing rainforest and swamp sclerophyll communities. These habitats support a high diversity of bird species, including songbirds, shorebirds and birds of prey. Fourteen significant bird species, including two species listed as threatened in NSW and twelve migratory species protected by Commonwealth legislation and international agreements, have been recorded using the feeding and roosting habitat available on the island, particularly the sandflats and intertidal zones.
