Before visiting
Lakshadweep is a fragile coral-atoll environment. Geological occurrence is not collecting permission. Coral and coral reefs are protected under coastal/wildlife/environmental controls, and the UT administration manages reefs, sanctuaries and marine conservation reserves. Do not remove live or dead coral or disturb reef material; verify current island-entry, coastal, wildlife and any material-removal rules before taking sand, rock, shell or other natural material.
