Globally, the species is listed as Endangered because the area of occupancy is small (B1) and a decrease in the number of individuals has been inferred (2e). Although the status in Australian waters more closely fits Vulnerable: A2d, on the basis of probable decreases in population over the next three generations (75 years), it is upgraded as per Gärdenfors et al. (1999) to match the global status, because all visiting birds are from an Endangered population.
