1. Pristineness and scenic beauty: refers to the aesthetic characteristics of the area, as well as the near absence of human intervention. The pristine nature of the area and its beauty provide rest and a sense of wellbeing, necessary for physical and mental health, generating opportunities for encounters, social integration, education and enjoyment.
Biodiversity: the outstanding variety of species of native fauna and flora that are concentrated in this area of the coastal strip, both on the plateau and in the marine sector, among which are endangered species such as the yellow cardinal, the land turtle, vulnerable, or the mara, endemic rodent of large size, close to the threat.
3. Seabird and shorebird assemblages: The area is used by 59 species of seabirds and shorebirds that nest and/or rest on the islets and intertidal sector, and feed in marine environments. Some of these species are vulnerable, near threatened, or endangered, such as the giant petrel, southern flamingo, plover, and red shorebird, while others, such as the terns, are very sensitive to human disturbance.
4. Sea lion rookeries. The area has two Otaria flavescens rookeries on its islets and is occasionally a resting site for the fur seal Arctocephalus australis. The single-hair fur seal is of tourist interest, as well as being an umbrella and flagship species.
5. Magellanic penguin colony: the area has the northernmost Magellanic penguin breeding colony in the world on the islets La Pastosa, Pájaros and Redondo, and about 30 nests have been recorded in Punta Pozos. This seabird is one of the main tourist attractions for the area and a flagship species, an umbrella and landscape for conservation.
6. Wetlands: especially marshes with the presence of Salicornia Sarcocornia perennis. Several beaches are relevant as a resting and feeding site for plovers and shorebirds, as well as a refuge for the octopus Octopus tehuelchus, on which the traditional activity of the octopuses is centered.
7. Assemblages of fish, including residents of rocky caves, which are targets for underwater hunting, and sharks, including threatened species such as the endangered catfish Mustelus schmitti, the scallops Carcharias taurus and the vulnerable dogfish Galeorhinus galeus.
8. Archaeological sites: These include sites on the islets and along the current coastline that bear witness to the history of the settlement of hunter-gatherer societies along the Patagonian coast. They are composed of a variety of remains, including lithic and ceramic artifacts, human skeletal remains, faunal remains related to human diet, and structures related to different uses (burials, structures presumably created as fishing fences, etc.).
