About Island
Suheli Par is a coral atoll in the Union Territory of Lakshadweep, India.
Situated 47 km south-west of Kavaratti, Suheli is an uninhabited island of
Lakshadweep. Suheli Par, consists of a banyan reef, enclosing a very large
lagoon (more than 18 km2) in which lie two uninhabited islands known as
Cheriyakara and Valiyakara. Owing to the rich marine life there was a
proposal to declare Suheli Par a marine national park.

The islands have coconut trees, as well as Pandanus, Scaevola

The grey heron and the black-capped kingfisher have been observed in this
atoll. One of the remarkable features observed in the islands is the rich
resources of reef fishes. Suheli island is an important site for tuna fishery.
Turtle nesting takes place in sand bar between the two islands. Suheli
Valiyakara Island is evidently the most important turtle rookery in
Lukshadaweep.
