                          Shy albatrosses occupy most of the land area of the islands on which they breed.

                          Wandering and Grey-headed Albatrosses do not breed on all parts of Macquarie Island, but the entire island is critical to providing isolation for each population and protection from the impact of disturbance.  Some of these populations are also recovering from past declines and hence expanding, hence the whole island is considered critical to their survival and future growth.

                          Macquarie Island is also subject to feral animal control, with an intensive control campaign focussed on the eradiation of feral cats from the island.

                          Criteria (g).  Any other way in which habitat may be critical to the survival of a listed threatened species or a listed threatened ecological community.
