Laivastonsa

Laivastonsa is a small island located in the Gulf of Finland, in the Outer Archipelago of Finland. It is situated approximately 40 kilometers west of the city of Porvoo, and is part of the Hanko section of the Finnish archipelago.

The island is a rugged and rocky outcropping, with a total area of approximately 5 hectares. It is relatively uninhabited, with only a few small buildings and no permanent residents. Laivastonsa is a popular destination for hiking and boating enthusiasts, with its scenic coastline and abundant wildlife.

Geologically, the island is composed primarily of granite and gneiss, with a mixture of glacial and marine sedimentation. The island's geology has been shaped by the glacial history of the region, with the last ice age depositing moraines and erratic boulders in the area.

Laivastonsa is also known for its unique botanical features, with a variety of plant species that are rare and endangered in the region. Some of the island's plant species, such as the perennial saxifrage, are found only in a handful of locations throughout Finland.

The island is managed by the Finnish Forest and Park Service, which seeks to preserve the natural state of the area in order to protect its unique wildlife and cultural heritage. Laivastonsa is an important part of Finland's natural and cultural landscape, and its preservation is a high priority for conservation efforts.
