väikon

Väikon is a small, often uninhabited island located in the Baltic Sea. Its geographical coordinates place it within Estonian territorial waters, though its precise location and name may vary slightly depending on the specific mapping or navigational reference used. The island is characterized by its modest size and predominantly rocky or sandy terrain, typical of the archipelago environment it inhabits.

Ecology on väikon is generally sparse, with vegetation often limited to hardy grasses, mosses, and low-lying shrubs adapted to coastal conditions. Birdlife is a more significant feature, with väikon serving as a nesting or resting ground for various seabird species. Due to its remote nature and limited resources, the island does not support a permanent human population. Historically, such small islands may have been used by fishermen for temporary shelter or as navigational landmarks. Modern use is typically restricted to occasional visits by researchers, birdwatchers, or those engaged in maritime activities. The conservation status of väikon and its surrounding waters is often managed as part of broader marine protected areas within Estonia, aimed at preserving the unique ecological balance of the Baltic Sea.
