The island, due to its strategic location in the channel bed, is endowed with rich alluvial soil and provides a rich ground for fishing operations attracting both farming and fishing communities who made their permanent abode on it since times immemorial. Owing to certain special physiographical and ecological features the island possesses five ethno- ecozones (micro-environments) that are effectively managed and exploited by the islanders under the fluctuating environmental conditions. As such, the island is exposed to three important recurring natural disturbances such as perennial floods, erratic rainfall and frost of which the first one has very serious consequences.

Studies in Fungi 3(1), 302–308, Doi 10.5943/sif/3/1/30 Abstract During the collection of manglicolous lichens for the project work on pharmacological evaluation, three lichen species collected from a remote “Lanka” in less known Vainateya Godavari river basin in the year 2015. There is no record of any of these lichen species on the mangroves of Andhra Pradesh like Dirinaria consimilis (Stirton) D. D. Awasthi, Parmotrema tinctorum (Despr. ex Nyl.) Hale and Roccella montagnei Bel. em. D. D. Awasthi on the host is Excoecaria agallocha. Interestingly the authors find no such lichen flora even in the Coringa wild life sanctuary the second largest stretch of mangrove forests of India due to its close proximity to the port city of Kakinada.
