Description
The reserve comprises around fifty islands and, together with Nämdö Archipelago National Park, forms a large, continuous archipelago area.
The islands are hilly, with rocky outcrops, depressions, and vegetation typical of the outer archipelago. The reserve is well known for its exceptionally rich and distinctive birdlife, including late-nesting and disturbance-sensitive species.
To protect nesting birds, some areas of the reserve are designated bird sanctuaries and have landing restrictions at certain times of the year.
There are no recreational facilities in the reserve.
