The uninhabited bay is a Canadian Important Bird Area (#NU067) stretching 15 km up the coastline to Elwin Inlet. It is also an International Biological Program site (Region 9, #7-7) and Key Migratory Bird Terrestrial Habitat site (NU Site 19). A sizeable population of northern fulmars are found here. Caribou, polar bears, and walruses, as well as harp seals, ringed seals, and beluga whales frequent the area.
