Cherbaniani Reef

Cherbaniani Reef, also known as Beleapani Reef ((マラヤーラム語:Valiyapanniyam)), is a coral atoll〔(Cherbaniani Reef, India )〕 belonging to the Amindivi Subgroup of islands of the Union Territory of Lakshadweep, India.
It is located 33 km north of Byramgore Reef and at it is the northwesternmost feature of Lakshadweep. The atoll has a roughly oval shape and was first described by ornithologist Allan Hume in 1876;〔Hume, Allan O., ''The Laccadives and the West Coast'', Stray Feathers. (Calcutta), IV (1876), 413-83. 21.〕 its total area is 170 km2.
==Ecology==
The 14 km long coral reef that encloses the lagoon has two small uninhabited islands on it. They are composed of accumulated coral sand, shingle, cuttle-bones and sea shells. There are many land hermit crabs under the boulders and among the detritus.〔W.A. Taylor, FRSE, ''Geographical Notes'', Scottish Geographical Magazine, Volume 8, Issue 11, 1892〕 The atoll used to be a breeding ground for pelagic birds, including the sooty tern (''Sterna fuliginosa'') and brown noddy (''Anous stolidus''), which were formerly found in great numbers.〔(Birds of Lakshadweep Islands )〕
Lakshadweep islanders from Chetlat and Bitra sometimes visit the islands to collect guano for the gardens in the main inhabited islands, gathering eggs, dumping garbage and disturbing the nestlings of pelagic birds in the process. The beaches are strewn with marine litter composed mainly of oceanic flotsam deposited by currents, like plastic bottles, glass bulbs, polystyrene foam and cans.〔(P.S.B.R. James, ''The Lakshadweep: Islands of Ecological Fragility, Environmental Sensitivity and Anthropogenic Vulnerability'', Journal of Coastal Environment )〕
