Androth Island

News: The ICG is constructing a dedicated berthing facility for coast guard ships by extending the existing port jetty at the Androth island harbor.

About:
• Androth Island is the largest island in the Lakshadweep archipelago, which is part of India. It is situated in the Arabian Sea and represents one of the 36 islands that make up the Union Territory of Lakshadweep.
• Unlike many other islands in the archipelago, Androth is distinguished by its flat terrain and absence of lagoons. It plays a significant role in the cultural and social life of the Lakshadweep community and serves as a crucial hub for the region.
• The economy of Androth Island, like much of Lakshadweep, is primarily based on fishing, coconut cultivation, and tourism.
• Being a remote island, Androth faces challenges related to connectivity, fresh water supply, and the impacts of climate change. Rising sea levels and increased cyclonic activity pose significant threats to its ecosystem and the livelihoods of its inhabitants.
