Kakskeha

Kakskeha refers to a small island located in the Baltic Sea, specifically within the Kihnu Parish of Pärnu County in Estonia. It is part of the Archipelago Sea and has a total land area of approximately 13 hectares.

Geologically, Kakskeha forms part of the Kihnu Island, which is composed of limestone, dolostone, and sandstone. The island is primarily wooded with various species of trees and bushes. The surrounding waters provide a minor contribution to the local fishery, while the island's historical and cultural importance is related to the nearby Kihnu fishing village.

The island is noteworthy for its harmonization with the Estonian State Land Board's policy of maintaining and utilizing local geography to justify permission for small island inhabitants to occupy and use the land for housing and mobile dwellings. Kakskeha's precise demarcation can change due to sea level variations and coast erosion.

According to available data, as of the year 2019, Kakskeha has no documented population, making it uninhabited. However, the broader Kihnu Island and its vicinity have a total population of just over 500 people. Historically, the fishing industry and trade with Russia and Latvia likely hold some significance for nearby areas, specifically the port village of Raunamägi.

The island of Kakskeha has navigational significance, supporting safer passage for nearby boats. UNESCO has recognized Kihnu Island, which Kakskeha is a part of, as a prime cultural site.
