Merituulessas

Merituulessas is a small, uninhabited island located in the Baltic Sea. It is part of an archipelago situated off the coast of Finland. The island is characterized by its rocky terrain and sparse vegetation, primarily consisting of low-lying shrubs and hardy grasses that can withstand the harsh coastal winds. Its name, Merituulessas, translates roughly to "in the sea wind" in Finnish, reflecting its exposed location.

The island's geographical features make it a significant habitat for various seabirds. During the nesting season, it becomes a breeding ground for several species that rely on the remote and predator-free environment for survival. Birdwatchers and ornithologists occasionally visit the island to observe these populations, though access is generally limited due to its remoteness and the often-inclement weather conditions in the Baltic Sea.

Merituulessas has no permanent human settlements or infrastructure. Its ecological importance as a bird sanctuary is its primary designation. The surrounding waters are also part of a marine conservation area, aimed at protecting the delicate ecosystem of the archipelago. The island's natural state is preserved, with no development or human interference.
