The intertidal mudflats and coastal lagoons are important staging sites for migratory shorebirds, including red knot Calidris canutus, white-rumped sandpiper C. fuscicollis and Hudsonian godwit Limosa haemastica.

An analysis of Hadley Centre spring and summer temperature and precipitation data over the last 50 years, interpolated over the currently known arctic distribution areas of the white-fronted goose (Anser albifrons) and the Taymir population of the red knot (Calidris canutus canutus), demonstrates a significant correlation between the mean June temperature and the percentage of juveniles in the population as a measure of breeding success.

Species such as red knot ( '' Calidris canutus '') and ruddy turnstone ( '' Arenaria interpres '') are inferred to have had much larger populations and more extensive breeding areas during glacial stages, although others, such as dunlin ( '' C. alpina ''), exhibit evidence of range fragmentation during glacial stages leading to the evolution of distinct geographically restricted infraspecific taxa.

There are also ringed plover Charadrius hiaticula, grey plover Pluvialis squatarola, knot Calidris canutus, redshankTringa totanus and bar-tailed godwit Limosa lapponica among many other species.
