tapalokkaa

Tapalokkaa is a small, uninhabited island located in the archipelago of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India. It is situated in the South Andaman district. The island is characterized by its dense tropical vegetation and sandy beaches, typical of the region's geography. Like many of the smaller islands in the Andaman chain, Tapalokkaa is largely undeveloped and serves as a natural habitat for various species of flora and fauna. Access to the island is restricted and typically requires special permits due to its protected status and the need for conservation. Its ecological significance lies in its role as part of a larger marine ecosystem. There are no permanent human settlements on Tapalokkaa. The island's name, like many in the region, likely originates from local indigenous languages, though its specific meaning is not widely documented. The surrounding waters are known for their clear visibility and rich marine life, attracting marine biologists and conservationists. The island contributes to the overall biodiversity of the Andaman Sea.
