The nature reserve consists of the full extent of Cook Island down to the Mean High Water Mark.

In 1978, the nature reserve was described as follows:[3]

Cook Island provides a breeding habitat for seabirds, in particular the crested tern (Sterna bergii) and the wedge tailed shearwater (Puffinus pacificus). The crested tern is an international migratory bird.

The island is well vegetated with closed scrub. This vegetation provides shelter for the nesting birds. The island has a large population of wedge tailed shearwaters. Due to difficulty of access on to the island the vegetation has maintained its natural condition…

The nature reserve is classified as an IUCN Category Ia protected area.[2] In 1978, it was listed on the now-defunct Register of the National Estate.[3]
