Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Attakoya Thangal Marine Reserve is the world's second marine conservation reserve for sea cucumbers. It was announced by the Lakshadweep Islands Administration in February 2020.[1] This reserve covers an area of about 344 sq. km and lies between Amini and Pitti archipelago.[1][2] This came into action when the smuggling of rare sea cuumber species was reported.[2] More than 1,716 sea cucumbers were seized by the administration on a desolate island named Suhali.[3] These rare species are in great demand for medicines and food in countries like China.[2] This conservation reserve comprises lagoons and coral formations which acts as a breeding ground for many species.[4]
