It is considered a priority for conservation according to the government due to its importance as the habitat for Sterna Antillarum and important colonies of Sula Leucogaster that nest in the area.
The Isla San Jorge also features a prominent sandbar off the coast that is home to a really interesting area. This sandbar is a popular breeding ground for sea lions.
