Abstract

The Lakshadweep Islands and their surrounding waters host one of the most diverse marine ecosystems in India. As a coral reef researcher, I first began visiting Lakshadweep in 2019, primarily to study corals. Over time, I have spent countless hours observing coral reefs, reef fishes, and the fascinating interactions among different reef inhabitants.
