It now has 4 Flyway Network Sites, the most recent designation being 2017, January. The abundant coastal habitat is valuable for the transit of shorebirds and waders during migration. Offshore habitats, such as the Tubbataha Reefs, provide nesting sites for migratory seabird populations in the flyway.
