          The site has been divided up into sub-areas that are visible from the chosen vantage points without overlap of areas counted and without missing any part of the site. Areas were divided mainly by habitat type defined by salinity and depth. These were called as follows: Marine area; Main Lake; Honyat; Malak geren; Saltpans – north; Saltpans – west.
