Pienisiä

Pienisiä is a small, uninhabited island located in the Archipelago Sea, off the coast of Finland. It is part of the municipality of Pargas in the Southwest Finland region. The island is characterized by its rocky shores and sparse vegetation, typical of the outer archipelago environment. Its size is approximately 0.5 square kilometers, with a maximum elevation of around 15 meters above sea level.

The waters surrounding Pienisiä are shallow and dotted with numerous skerries, making navigation challenging. The island's ecological value lies in its role as a habitat for various seabird species, particularly during their nesting season. Due to its remote location and lack of infrastructure, Pienisiä is rarely visited by humans, contributing to its relatively undisturbed natural state. The island's name, "pienisiä," is of Finnish origin, roughly translating to "small ones" or "little ones," likely referring to its size or perhaps its presence among a cluster of other islets. There are no permanent settlements or economic activities associated with Pienisiä. Its significance is primarily ecological and geographical within the broader context of the Finnish archipelago.
