Justification of Outstanding Universal Value

  This natural reserve is unique between mangrove habitats in west Asia because of vast area and adapted to hot weather and more saline sea water (over 40 ppt.). The Intertidal areas and mangrove zones provide a suitable habitat for abundant invertebrates, which form an important food source for wildfowl. The reserve supports more than 50,000 individual bird's habitat in more than 90 species. The reserve is an important breeding site for herons (Ardeidea), notably great Egret (Egretta alba), western reef heron (Egretta gularis), Indian pond heron (Ardeola grayii), goliath heron (Ardea goliath), Crab plover (Dromas ardeola) and atone-curlew (Burhinus oedicnemus). Numerous species of plover (Chharadriidae) pass through the area on migration. In winter the wetland area of reserve is of special importance as a feeding station for heron, plover and sandpipers (Scolopacidae) including grey heron (Ardea cinera), redshank (Tringa totanus), Terek sandpiper (Xenus cinereus), bar-tailed god wit (Limosa lapponica) and curlew (Numenius arquata). This site is more important for wintering flocks of Dalmatian pelican (Pelecanus crispus), spoonbill (Platalea leucorodia) and greater flamingo (Phoenicopterus ruber).

  Green turtle (Chelonia mydas), Finless porpoise (Neophocaena phocaenoides), Hump-back dolphin (Sousa chinensis) and common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) find in site regularly. Green turtle, Dalmatian pelican, cab plover and curlew are endangered species of the reserve with global importance.

  Life of local people depended to mangrove habitat by cutting foliage for feeding domestic livestock, catch fish in traditional way (named Moshta) and recreation services. This site take as a sample of balancing life of man and nature.
