võimele

Võimele is a small, uninhabited island located in the Baltic Sea, off the coast of Estonia. Administratively, it belongs to the municipality of Viimsi Parish in Harju County. The island is characterized by its rocky shores and sparse vegetation, consisting mainly of low-lying shrubs and grasses. Its geographical coordinates place it within a cluster of other small islands and skerries, typical of the Estonian archipelago.

The ecological significance of Võimele lies in its role as a habitat for various seabirds. During breeding seasons, the island provides nesting grounds for species such as common eider and herring gull. Its remote and undisturbed nature makes it a valuable resting and feeding stop for migratory birds. The surrounding waters are also part of the marine ecosystem, supporting a range of fish and invertebrate species.

Historically, Võimele has not been a site of significant human settlement or major events. Its primary function has been as a natural feature within the maritime landscape. Access to the island is generally limited, contributing to its preserved natural state. Efforts to maintain the ecological integrity of such small islands are often part of broader conservation strategies for the Baltic Sea region. The island's name, "Võimele," is of Estonian origin.
