[3] The coastal nature reserve is also rich in fish, and in addition is a habitat for both otter and grey seal.

It has lagoons, coastal lakes and saltmarshes, consists of over 40 islets and has large swathes of reedbeds.

This diverse vegetation type forms the core of the West Estonian Archipelago Biosphere Reserve (1990).

The wetlands are also endowed with small areas of boreo-nemoral broadleaved forests, alvars and dry meadows.
