The presence of protected birds, such as the tufted cormorant or other species such as the yellow-legged gulls, means that several bird observatories have been established on the island. In addition to the birds, there are also some amphibians or reptiles, but mainly the natural wealth of Cíes is represented by the marine environment as the underwater area of the islands forms one of the richest ecosystems of Galicia with an important kelp forest.
