The island of Liebitz is part of the nature reserve named after it and lies within the West Pomeranian Lagoon Area National Park.

The eastern part of the island is the most densely populated by breeding birds.

Sand martins settle on the steep coast of the morainic core.

In addition, various species of wader, ducks and geese breed on the island.

The number of breeding pairs fell drastically after 1992, but has been stable since 1998.
